Paying 0.12btc for quick help with install

[moriartybitcoin]

hi folks,

I am trying to install Bitcoind on a VPS running Centos 6 (64bit).

I will pay 0.12btc to anyone who helps me. I just need some assistance with command line because I am not having any luck with the install. Can anyone provide a series of commands that I can run in bash to install bitcoind ??

I have looked on google and surprisingly there are few (if any) tutorials for installing on Centos 6

I've already seen those pages, but this shouldn't be so complex.  I'm sure it's just a series of 5 or 6 commands to get this thing installed. I just don't know what those commands are.

I would be glad to help. Please PM me with some info. If you'd like and trust me, I can also connect remotely to set it up using ssh or ssh-in-teamviewer(so you can see what I am doing)

[moriartybitcoin]

well, I need to do it myself, I just need some step-by-step instructions. I am running a VPS with Centos 6 64bit.  It shouldn't be too hard to provide basic instructions on how to do it.

So far I have downloaded the tarball from bitcoin.org, unzipped it, and tried to run bitcoin-qt but I get this error:

 error while loading shared libraries: libQtGui.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Are you sure that you are running bitcoind and not bitcoin-qt? The tarball is compiled with desktop systems in mind, so you might have better luck compiling from source. I'll write up a quick guide ASAP.

Edit: Hmm, EC has been stripped from CentOS repositories for some extremely strange reason. The build process for a fixed openssl is quite complex and I do not have a CentOS box to test on.

Edit 2: libQtGui.so.4 is provided by the `qt-x11` package. It is possible that the executable is linked to it for some reason but doesn't actually need a screen to draw to, so you could try

Code:

yum install qt-x11

and try to run bitcoind again.

oh I see .. I am going here (https://bitcoin.org/en/download) and downloading the linux version of 'Bitcoin Core'

Didn't realize there was a difference anymore between bitcoind and bitcoinqt ..

I am doing everything from bash command line so maybe this version of bitcoin is not the right one?  I could compile from source if I had instructions, but I've never done it before.

bitcoind is just the server and bitcoin-qt is the gpu on the program I think.

GUI, not GPU. bitcoin-qt is a frontend.

Did installing the qt runtime library help?

[moriartybitcoin]

didn't seem to help, seems like CentOS is a bad distro for running bitcoin: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=229332.20

maybe I should install ubuntu ..

[moriartybitcoin]

actually it did help with the library error, but now I get this error:

symbol lookup error: ./bitcoin-qt: undefined symbol: _ZN10QTextCodec11validCodecsEv

[hexafraction]

Yeah, CentOS is definitely problematic. It ships a hobbled openssl that doesn't include *gasp* EC operations (which, of course, Bitcoin uses extensively). In addition, your symbol error is caused by the fact that CentOS publishes an out-of-date QT version.

If you use Ubuntu, installing a recent version that doesn't link to qt from the daemon for no reason is a breeze, as is compiling from source (which I'd be happy to help with as needed).

Best of luck!
