if you want to install XPM primecoin, follow the original guide by mikaelh : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=259022.0

Install the dependencies

Code:

sudo apt-get install -y build-essential m4 libssl-dev libdb++-dev libboost-all-dev libminiupnpc-dev git

Install the last version of GMP

Code:

cd
rm -rf gmp-5.1.3.tar.bz2 gmp-5.1.3
wget http://mirrors.kernel.org/gnu/gmp/gmp-5.1.3.tar.bz2
tar xjvf gmp-5.1.3.tar.bz2
cd gmp-5.1.3
./configure --enable-cxx

Create a swapfile (unneccesary if you have 1GB of RAM or more)

Code:

cd
sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/swapfile bs=64M count=16
sudo mkswap /swapfile

cd
git clone https://github.com/foo1inge/datacoin-hp
cd datacoin-hp/src
make -f makefile.unix
sudo cp -f datacoind /usr/local/bin/

Create the .conf file
