Install bitcoin-qt in Debian Jessie

[gaglia]

Hi all I'm trying to find a relatively painless way to install the official bitcoin-qt client on Debian Jessie. The howto I found here does not work for me (cannot find libqtgui4-gui). This one I didn't try because it's 7 months old and I pray the Dark Gods that in the meantime somebody worked out an easier solution. FYI, my sources.list is as follows:

Code:

deb http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/ jessie main contrib non-free
deb-src http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/ jessie main contrib non-free

deb http://security.debian.org/ jessie/updates main contrib non-free
deb-src http://security.debian.org/ jessie/updates main contrib non-free

# jessie-updates, previously known as 'volatile'
deb http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/ jessie-updates main contrib non-free
deb-src http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/ jessie-updates main contrib non-free

Can someone help please?

If you downloaded the linux package, it should work without extra dependencies. If you need to install libqt, then add this line to your sources.list

Code:

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

where [mirror] is any official debian mirror. List is here: https://www.debian.org/mirror/list
Then in the terminal, type:

Code:

sudo apt-get update

And then whatever command to install libqt.

Download the Linux .tgz file from bitcoin.org/en/download. In the bin folder of this tarball are all the binaries you need. Dump them in /usr/bin or some other suitable location and run bitcoin-qt (and create a desktop link to it if you feel like it).

That guide is incorrect. There's no such thing as libqtgui4-gui. The required library is just libqt4gui, which you should already have anyway.

Thank to both of you. Indeed I seem to have libqt4gui, but if I try to run bitcoin-qt I get:

./bitcoin-qt: error while loading shared libraries: libQtNetwork.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Installing libqt4-network finally worked for me
