... &  other Technobit hardware.

Only support for HEX16A is planned at this time, and possibly only for Mac/Windows since they're incompatible with Linux.
We'll need samples of the newer hardware to support them (although maybe it's possible they use the same interface and would just work).

I think Raspbian is based on Debian stable, which is too old for Bitcoin stuff.
Usually I just build from source.

THX for your answer, but over source:

configure: error: Could not find HASH_ITER - please install uthash-dev 1.9.4+

but uthash-dev is on the newest version installed?

uthash-dev is already the newest version.
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.

so i will try a manual installation...

THX

Edit1:

So i have loaded the package but i can't install it??

wget https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+archive/primary/+files/uthash_1.9.7-1.debian.tar.gz
tar xvf uthash_1.9.7-1.debian.tar.gz
cd debian
??Make??

 "Problem solved":

I have loaded the uthash-dev_1.9-4_all.deb and i installed manually

but i have the next missing package:

Why are you trying to install debs manually? Did you run aptitude update before starting??

[Luke-Jr]

There is a README file.

[Buchi-88]

There is a README file.

Sorry but no chance to install?

All I can say is your OS appears to be broken.

He needs to set up the environment before trying to compile bfgminer.

I'd suggest you read the README file and sequentially and carefully follow the instructions section of setting up the developement environment before you try to compile.
I have not done it on rPi, but used BFGMiner instructions for setting up MinGW on windows and it works a treat. All the errors that you are encountering indicate that your environment is not set up correctly, and posting each error as you encounter it may simply bamboozle whoever is trying to help.
I know for sure you'll encounter compilation errors that need Luke-Jr to address, but if you keep crying wolf when there is none, then when that wolf does turn up you may not get the help you require!

so question, I know that BFG works with the gridseed 5 chip pods for scrypt mining. What about dual mode with the gridseed device?  I am pretty sure the first comment to come my way might very well be why would you want to do that.  I realize profit for sha/scrypt mining on the little buggers is nonexistent. I am just at war with the pc at the moment trying to do it.  currently I am running cpu&cgminer to accomplish this, but it is not getting the results i think it should be.
