Command bitcoin-cli getaccountaddress method not found

[Maik_37]

I was able to compile and install bitcoin on debian 7 and when do: bitcoind-cli getinfo

{
    "version" : 100200,
    "protocolversion" : 70002,
    "blocks" : 330412,
    "timeoffset" : -4,
    "connections" : 17,
    "proxy" : "",
    "difficulty" : 39603666252.41841125,
    "testnet" : false,
    "relayfee" : 0.00001000,
    "errors" : ""
}

But if I want to create a new address and do: bitcoin-cli getaccountaddress I get a strange error " error {"code": - 32601, "message": "Method not found"} "

Did you compile Bitcoin with wallet support? Could you show us your debug.log?

I compiled bitcoind following this guide http://bitcoin-austria.at/artikel/full-bitcoind-node-debian-7-server  the debug file is too large are 4.5 Mb how can I do to publish

That's the problem. You compiled with --disable-wallet option and this prevents you from being able to use the getaccountaddress option which requires a wallet. Try recompiling using these instructions instead: https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/doc/build-unix.md

I realized I too when I read " When the intention is to run only a P2P node without a wallet, bitcoin may be compiled in disable-wallet mode with:

./configure --disable-wallet "

[Maik_37]

After ./configure gives me an error: error: Found Berkeley DB other than 4.8, required for portable wallets (--with-incompatible-bdb to ignore or --disable-wallet to disable wallet functionality) I tried to give ./configure --with-bdb-compatible and ./configure --with-bdb-compatible \ but I always get the same error. How can I fix

That means that the BerkeylyDB version is not compatible with Bitcoin core. To install the correct one, run these:

Code:

deb http://[mirror]/debian/ oldstable main
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install libdb4.8-dev libdb4.8++-dev

Then compile.

When do I get sudo apt-get install libdb4.8-dev libdb4.8++-dev: Package 'libdb4.8-dev' has no installation candidate
E: Package 'libdb4.8 ++ - dev' has no installation candidate

Oops, Sorry I made a mistake.

Open /etc/apt/sources.list and add the line

Code:

deb http://[mirror]/debian/ oldstable main

where [mirror] is

Code:

ftp.<country>.debian.org

and <country> is any country on this list: https://www.debian.org/mirror/official#list.

Then run

Code:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install libdb4.8-dev libdb4.8++-dev

and compile

I followed to the letter all that you told me but I always get: Reading package lists ... Done

Reading state information ... Done
Package libdb4.8 ++ - dev is not available, but is Referred to by another package.
This may mean That the package is missing, Has Been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source

I solved the problem by sudo apt-get install db5.1-util
