I've learned more over the past couple days, but I still don't quite understand how to get this thing going. I can't find any tutorials either. I'm using the headless linuxcoin guide as the basis of my build and have followed those instructions so far. I have gotten the phoenix miner to work. I downloaded cgminer2.08 and unzipped it in my downloads folder.
I also wrote a pre-install script from the tutorial in the package, but i have no idea what to do from here or if anything I've done so far is correct.
Thanks.

I just can't understand why it doesn't work. That ./configure says file not founf or some bs. This is driving me insane and no one has any decent tutorials, it all assumes you're a linux genius.
damnit man, I'm sure someone here could help me easily. Please help!

Before you can run configure you need to run ./autogen.sh

You're going way over his head. He just wants a binary that works. Linuxcoin is built on an older ubuntu than the 2.0.8 package is. For now you will have much more luck with linuxcoin and the 2.0.7 binary which was built for an older ubuntu linux. http://ck.kolivas.org/apps/cgminer/cgminer-2.0.7-x86_64-built.tar.bz2You don't need to configure or build anything, just run it.

What do you mean by just run it? is there an executable file in there that will auto install?

There is an executable file in there you can run directly. tar xf cgminer-2.0.7-x86_64-built.tar.bz2 cd cgminer-2.0.7 ./cgminer

Small tip if you are new to linux, to get the tarbal, from the command line you can type (or copy paste): wget http://ck.kolivas.org/apps/cgminer/cgminer-2.0.7-x86_64-built.tar.bz2 then follow ckolivas' instructions: tar xf cgminer-2.0.7-x86_64-built.tar.bz2 cd cgminer-2.0.7 ./cgminer
Once that works, you will want to do this over SSH, using "screen" so you can log in and out of the session from any pc in the network.

Can't get it to work. I'm using Linuxcoin 0.2.1b and I keep getting the error message about libcurl. I downloaded the file 2.0.7 and followed the above instructions and it won't run when I get to ./cgminer.
error while loading shared libraries: libcurl.so.4: cannot open shared objkect file: No such file or directory.

There is no need to run cgminer as sudo. He needs to install those missing libraries. Try this: sudo apt-get install libcurl4-openssl-dev Hope thats the correct one, not on my linux box here. If it cant find it, then type part of it, like libcurl and hit TAB twice for a list of possibile matches.

I still have no clue. I'm building a new rig this week and might just try one of the generic linux tutorials. Thinking about using Ubuntu 11.04 64bit with the 11.5 amd drivers to avoid cpu bug and then try cgminer again.
I'd love to use the newer amd drivers, 11.11 as it looks like they help with power draw, but first and foremost i really want a 100% stable rig that doesn't need to be screwed around with very much.

I got it running on a new rig today, thanks for everyone's help! Now I can figure out how to configure the miner to optimize my 5970's.

sudo ./cgminer
cgminer doesn't need to be run with root. No need for sudo
