I will answer myself. $ cd ..
$ ./autogen.sh
$ ./configure.sh --with-incompatible-bdb
$ make
If anyone knows how to install compatible bdb libs on ubuntu using apt-get side by side with the existing ones, that would be helpful. anyone have build instructions? $ git pull
$ make -f makefile.unix
make: makefile.unix: No such file or directory
make: *** No rule to make target `makefile.unix'. Stop.
$ echo 'WTF?!!!'
WTF?!!!
$ ./configure
-su: ./configure: No such file or directory

No, assuming you are upgrading from 0.8.5, it will use the same wallet and blockchain data. |

I have a 64 bit OS.. when is the 64bit executable going to be released? I believe version 0.9 . What risk is present if I wait?

Which 64 bit OS? 64-bit executables are available for OSX and Linux. Windows is coming soon. |

I don't think it makes sense to wait for 0.9 if your goal is risk minimization. Better to just go with 0.8.6. 0.9.0rc1 will be more risky when it is released, after all it contains a lot of new features and changes which have not been as extensively tested as the 0.8.x series. This will need some time to settle down too. |

This will need some time to settle down too. Well I wouldn't have worried about problems but in the release news it states 'Warning ------- - There have been frequent reports of users running out of virtual memory on 32-bit systems during the initial sync. Hence it is recommended to use a 64-bit executable if possible. A 64-bit executable for Windows is planned for 0.9.' so a 64 bit exe would be appropriate for a 64 bit OS? |

That's nothing new with 0.8.6 -- if 0.8.5 or earlier worked fine for you on 32 bit, 0.8.6 will too. Also it appears that the virtual memory problems occur mainly for new initial block syncs. |

0.8.6?
mine says it is 4.8.3
apparently I am from the future

This is not some pseudoeconomic post-modern Libertarian cult, it's an un-led, crowd-sourced mega startup organized around mutual self-interest where problems, whether of the theoretical or purely practical variety, are treated as temporary and, ultimately, solvable.

▼If you pick "about Qt", 4.8.3 is the version of Qt you will be shown.

I see people using .9 That must be 0.8.99, which is the current master (on release, it will be 0.9). |
