Slackware 14 - Pushpool source compile libmemcached problems!!

[gr33k]

Hello all,

(Opened thread here on this as well http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/slackware-14/how-to-install-pushpoold-and-dependencies-slackware-14-0-a-4175471244/)

I've been trying just about ever single version that I can think of (thinking it was a version problem) of libmemcached to get the configure script for pushpool to detect that it's installed. I'm almost about to give up but decided to post here first.

I am on Slackware 14.0 (so please no apt-get or yum install libmemcached answers lol - those are not on slackware or I'd have fixed this days ago with a simple yum install libmemcached-dev or something   )

Code:

My libmemcached is in /usr/local/lib

I have /usr/local/lib in my /etc/ld.so.conf as well - I've ran ldconfig and rebooted the server even  

Also - if it matters - I can run memcached:

# ps aux | grep memcached
root     22758  0.0  0.0  47232   604 ?        Ssl  Jul27   0:00 memcached -d -m 1024 -u root -l 127.0.0.1 -p 11211

But doesn't seem to make a difference here

I'm out of ideas at this point. I really want to avoid having to run it on Centos or Ubuntu because I have a lot of other things already setup on this box that I wish to multipurpose for a pool server

Any help is GREATLY appreciated.

I suppose my goal should be stated as well - I want to run a pool with a front end. The best I've found is https://github.com/TheSerapher/php-mmcfe-ng

This apparently requires pushpool (https://github.com/ArtForz/pushpool) and this stratum server (https://github.com/viperaus/stratum-mining). I have the stratum server installed already.

If anyone has an alternative idea - I'm not much of a coder unfortunately...But I have installed a plethora of linux apps from source and am not a complete n00b I work with Linux every day, but the solution to this eludes me at this point

Thank you

  I hope someone here can help! I'll try to provide some additional info in hopes it may help you help me  

If I need to provide any additional info - or anything please let me know.

Code:

 # whereis libmemcached                                                                                                                                                                          
libmemcached: /usr/lib/libmemcached.so /usr/lib/libmemcached.la /usr/local/lib/libmemcached.a /usr/local/lib/libmemcached.so /usr/local/lib/libmemcached.la /usr/include/libmemcached /usr/man/man3p/libmemcached.3.gz /usr/man/man3/libmemcached.3.gz /usr/share/man/man3p/libmemcached.3.gz /usr/share/man/man3/libmemcached.3.gz /usr/X11/man/man3p/libmemcached.3.gz /usr/X11/man/man3/libmemcached.3.gz

Suggestions such as what versions of libmemcached, and memcached you are using might be helpful. I'm not sure if there is a version conflict between THOSE two apps.

Maybe there is a way to define the path in the configure script for pushpool? I've done these also to no avail:

./configure --includedir=/usr/local/lib
./configure --libdir=/usr/local/lib
./configure --includedir=/usr/local/lib --libdir=/usr/local/lib

Maybe I should install libmemcached in another folder where pushpool might look? Where are your working installs putting the files?

The whole version suspicion comes in that pushpool hasn't been updated in about 2+ years. Since then there have been newer versions of libmemcached, and some implementations (memcached_get) might have changed.

i.e. checking for memcached_get in -lmemcached... no

I've tried quite a few versions you can see here:

I've also tried to "phpize" an install thinking that would help to no avail.

Looking in to trying to compile it via PECL right now - but hoping some Linux guru might see this and point out where I'm fumbling things  

Installed also with PECL successfully - and still nothing.

Code:

 # php -i | grep -i memcached                                                                                                                                                                    Additional .ini files parsed => /etc/php/memcached.ini
memcached
memcached support => enabled
libmemcached version => 1.0.15
memcached.compression_factor => 1.3 => 1.3
memcached.compression_threshold => 2000 => 2000
memcached.compression_type => fastlz => fastlz
memcached.serializer => php => php
memcached.sess_binary => 0 => 0
memcached.sess_lock_wait => 150000 => 150000
memcached.sess_locking => 1 => 1
memcached.sess_prefix => memc.sess.key. => memc.sess.key.
Registered save handlers => files user memcached memcache

Well the simplest answer would have been DO NOT use pushpool. Just use stratum

Of course that means no pushpool support for your mining pool - but who cares!

Stratum is the way to do - and using that as the backend for mmcfe-ng works great...at least on my Ubuntu server.

Will try on this after some testing and let you all know

But for now - you don't need to be held up at trying to install pushpool if you have problems - skip it and just go stratum and mmcfe-ng
