OK I went with the namecoin binary and I must be getting close but this is what I get now:
./namecoind =server& python poclbm.py -d --user un --pass pw
[1] 6142
error: couldn't connect to server
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "poclbm.py", line 5, in <module>
from BitcoinMiner import *
File "/home/chris/Downloads/namecoin/BitcoinMiner.py", line 8, in <module>
from sha256 import *
ImportError: No module named sha256
[1]+ Exit 87 ./namecoind =server
I am kind of using this guide (
http://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2636.0) but have tried to change all the things to get it to work for this.
Can you see what I am missing?
When I try using those instructions on normal bitcoin I get:
/bitcoin -server& python poclbm.py -d 0 --user un --pass pw
[1] 6450
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "poclbm.py", line 5, in <module>

ImportError: No module named sha256
OK I just did wget --no-check-certificate
https://github.com/m0mchil/poclbm/raw/master/sha256.py then tried my command ./bitcoin -server& python poclbm.py -d 0 --user un --pass pw and now it says its downloading blocks.
I then stopped bitcoind and stared namecoind and ran my command again to start the bitcoin client and its given me a few errors but then it given me a k hash rate

bitcoin in ThreadRPCServer()
bitcoin: ../../src/xcb_io.c:140: dequeue_pending_request: Assertion `req == dpy->xcb->pending_request's failed
the hash rate is 140000 khash/s ish .. I assume it should be in mhash/s per second?
when I sudo it I don't get the errors but I get about the same hash rate
Whats the expected hash rate for an ATI 5770?
