Looks like you are missing setuptools.

Code:

sudo pip install setuptools

We definitely need the list of all requirements. I will try to setup miner on a clean install and make such list today.

Indeed, thank you for your effort a Full requirements/dependencies list would definitely help.

I also checked if I had setuptools installed and I had 'python-setuptools' installed, but not 'python3-setuptools' - so I installed that also. After that I tried again, but seems to have not helped;

That happens sometimes, if you have some stuff installed via pip and some via apt-get and have both vanilla (non-debug) and debug versions of python. That's because of different versions of python requires related versions of packages.

Hmm, tried to check if I had any debug version of those, but didn't have those - just the normal ones. Could pytools conflict with setuptools? As installing pyopencl installs both pytools and numpy by default, it seems At least when done through the software center.

sudo apt-get build-dep python-pyopencl
This should install all the dependencies you need.

Unlikelly, that's quite different packages, and currently I have both of them.

Now I see that the issue is here:

I have downloaded the driver from here : http://www2.ati.com/drivers/beta/amd-catalyst-13.11-beta-v9.4-linux-x86.x86_64.run.zip

install it with sudo sh ./amdwhatever.run


use ubuntu 13.04 : from here http://releases.ubuntu.com/13.04/

- i recommand you to use WUBI.exe... it will install ubuntu along with your windows without altering or modifiing partitions on you hdd, jut simply point the installer on what drive and what size you wanna allow for utunbu
http://releases.ubuntu.com/13.04/wubi.exe
...

Thanks, it works.
For wubi I set C:\ and it works too (D:\ did not work).
I even make some undervolt and overclock with atitweak.
Then I lost attention and it killed my PSU with overheated GPU :/.

Does this miner can stop hashing on GPU when overheated?
Does it work with solo mining?

Yes, it makes pauses in mining when your card is overheat. You need adl3 python module installed for that, and change default 95C to someting more safe with '--cutoff-temp' switch.

http://wiki.tiker.net/OpenCLHowTo

It may indeed be the wrong path to AMD APP SDK, but since CGminer works correctly and the poclbm-skc miner has problems identifying pyopencl, the problem might be either at pyopencl or poclbm-skc it self. I'll try if I can manually set the location of AMD APP SDK for pyopencl and/or to poclbm-skc and post results here. I don't really know how this is done, so any advices are welcome, while I try looking for them by my self

Just try to run python as interpreter in the command line and issue 'import pyopencl' command there. If you get ImportError message, then it is not set up properly for your default python installation, if there is no output, poclbm should work too.

hi guys.. perhapes my last message got lost in the gpu instructions but i would love 2 know if anyone (accept for madjihad) has an interest in an easy to check stats/updates app cause the poll http://skeincoin.wordpress.com/ had 7 votes and i got 1 suggestion from madjihad - an android wallet for Skein.. which would be awesome but would require lots of time and do we really trust the random number generator? :p

for suggestions pls pm me or post something up here.. would appreciate that

maybe my skeinhash.so is not as good as yours, can someone give the link to download it?
who make it work, please tell your os/catalist version/amd sdk ?
thanks

That is strange. Try this one skeinhash.so http://www.megafileupload.com/en/file/482956/skeinhash-so.html It was compiled under Windows 7 x64, might resolve you issue. On Windows I had issue with amdocl.dll it crashed during run and I had to replace it with older version (dll version: 10.0.923.1 and product version: OpenCL 1.1 AMD-APP (923.1)) you can download it here: http://www.filedropper.com/amdocl64 but make a backup of original file (or files if you have systerm32 and syswow64 folders).

I have used the skeinhash.so but when i run it i get:

Windowserror:error126. The specified module could not be found. Even with inserting the before mentioned amdocl64.dll I keep getting this. I have inserted the file in both the system32 and syswow64 dir.

This should be correct right?

[3dcgminer]

Cannot get the GPU miner to work either, trying on Win 7 64 bit and latest AMD 13.12 driver.

Using Python 2.7 64 bit I get "WindowsError Error 21 device not ready".
Also installed: ipython, Mako, numpy 1.8 MKL, pyopencl, pytools from http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/

Using the skeinhash.so from http://www.megafileupload.com/en/file/482956/skeinhash-so.html
Thanks madjihad.

Trying Python 2.7 32 bit again, also failed but that got further than the 64 bit install.

Can't find an "amdocl64.dll" to replace, they are called "amdocl.dll" now.
