Setting up on Centos

[mintminty59]

Hello everyone, fantastic forum and I have just started with bitcoins and I am slowly learning the ropes

I have been using the instructions here to install cgminer on a centos system and I am having a lot of problems. Being as I am unable to post in there to ask I will ask here

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=170516.0;all

That is the origonal thread. I get a lot of 404 errors when trying to install the SDK packages , and also I get this error when trying to start CGminer.

./cgminer -o stratum+tcp://mining.eligius.st:3334 -u 1NQc6tCtRmT8zBeLKNpboFaUBMLcxDwUm6 -p x0 -I 9 --per-device-stats 2>logfile.txt
 [2013-11-29 13:58:55] ./cgminer: -I: unrecognized option

or would someone please point me in the direction of other instructions, that I could possibly try for centos.

Seems to me that you are running one of the newer versions of cgminer that doesn't support cpu/gpu mining (I believe that was the reason I read).  I recommend grabbing 3.7.2 and try it again.
