bitcoind: command not found

[scndsn]

Does it apply if you install compile Bitcoin Core from source code and install using command sudo make install? Because that's what script (which mentioned by OP) do.

I believe so... this guide (which essentially follows the same flow of make and sudo make install says in the "Extra Guidance" section:

How To Recompile/Update Bitcoin Core

Recompiling Bitcoin Core and updating Bitcore Core are essentially the same procedure. We’re going to delete or rename the Bitcoin install directory, and then just reinstall Bitcoin all over again with the newer version.

Ideally, as they suggest, you should probably rename the folder initially to something like "bitcoin-OLD", rather than deleting it... so if anything goes wrong, you can simply change the folder name back and you should still have it.

why ?

[root@localhost bitcoin]# git checkout tags/v22.0
Note: checking out 'tags/v22.0'.

You are in 'detached HEAD' state. You can look around, make experimental
changes and commit them, and you can discard any commits you make in this
state without impacting any branches by performing another checkout.

If you want to create a new branch to retain commits you create, you may
do so (now or later) by using -b with the checkout command again. Example:

  git checkout -b new_branch_name

It means you are using too old version of gcc compiler. Run GCC --version, you must have at least version 8 to have C++ 17 support.

If you are on Ubuntu you can run: apt-get install gcc-8 g++-8.

On CentOS it is a little more difficult and you need to install GCC from source.

From https://linuxhostsupport.com/blog/how-to-install-gcc-on-centos-7/:

Code:

wget https://www.mirrorservice.org/sites/sourceware.org/pub/gcc/releases/gcc-8.5.0/gcc-8.5.0.tar.gz
tar zxf gcc-8.5.0.tar.gz
cd gcc-8.5.0
yum -y install bzip2
./contrib/download_prerequisites
./configure --disable-multilib --enable-languages=c,c++
make -j 2
make install

Then you can run the Bitcoin Core build process again.

As I already said, it is because the ./configure  command failed with an error (check the log output above).

The error says your version of GCC compiler is too old. If you are on CentOS 7 it is probably 4.8.5. This is a really old version of GCC.

As I also said above, you need to download and install a newer version of GCC.

[HCP]

It seems that your system is still finding the older version of libstdc++.so.6, rather than the newer one that is required (and has GLIBCXX_3.4.20 and GLIBCXX_3.4.21)...

But this seems to indicate that you got Boost compiled:

UPD

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib:/usr/lib:/usr/local/lib64:/usr/lib64

./b2 install --prefix=/opt/boost --with=all

done

If so, then you should be able to return to your step 4)... and start following the gist again to get it compiled... or is it still complaining that it cannot find Boost libraries?
