I guess there's a typo. Instead of libdb4.8++-dev you should type libdb4.8-dev. Still, I'm unsure.

Unsure about what? This is pretty cool!

It's not a typo. libdb++ is needed, and also installs libdb as dependency. I usually try my one-liners before (and sometimes after) posting them. Notice how I also added automatic detection of number of processors, for efficency ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

I get a build error under Ubuntu 10.10. It downloads fine then fails upon compiling. Still, thanks for your work! I'm sure it can be tweaked. src/headers.h:30: fatal error: openssl/buffer.h: No such file or directory compilation terminated. make: *** [build/bitcoin.o] Error 1

That did the trick! Thanks. There is also a PPA for Ubuntu, but it has not been updated and still serves version 0.3.24 of the client.

Just for your information: libdb4.8++-dev is not available in Ubuntu's repositories. How to get it elsewhere?

Oops, Ubuntu 11.10 doesn't have that version (I just updated this PC today). It has 5.1 but 10.10 doesn't. I've updated the post to autodetect the last libdb++ version. Hopefully it will work now on any Ubuntu, at least since 10.04.

You need recent GPU drivers for that (at least for nvidia, I don't know about ati), so update Ubuntu to 11.10 if you haven't already. Also you'll need a 64 bit distro (I suppose it could work on 32 bit, but having a 64 bit cpu it's pointless not to use a 64 bit linux; cpu intensive tasks perform much better). wget -O- http://ck.kolivas.org/apps/cgminer/cgminer-2.0.7-x86_64-built.tar.bz2|tar jxv I haven't tried solo mining... Register on any mining pool; I've tried http://yourbtc.net/ and it's easy. Add a worker, it gives you a user and a pass. Suppose those are 12345 and PaSsWd. cd cgminer-2.0.7; ./cgminer -o http://yourbtc.net:8999/ -u 12345 -p PaSsWd Look here for more commandline options: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=28402.0As I said I use nvidia, which is not very good for mining (ati is 3x faster for calculating hashes)...

New question. Would you be able to help me out with Ubuntu installation instructions for a CPU miner such as Ufasoft? (I know CPU mining is not economically feasible, I'm doing this as a learning experience).

Sorry for late reply. Use the same instructions above but adding these options to cgminer: -C -G (both upper case, C enables cpu mining and G disables gpu mining).

Did you use my one-liner? In that case, can you paste here the output of this? apt-cache search libdb|cut -d' ' -f1|grep '++-dev'
