having serious issues Bitcoin mining, please help!

[cal.97]

hey there guys, i installed the python miner using this bash script:

Code:

sudo apt-get install python-pyopencl subversion
svn checkout http://svn.json-rpc.org/trunk/python-jsonrpc
cd python-jsonrpc/
sudo python setup.py install
cd ..
wget --no-check-certificate https://github.com/m0mchil/poclbm/raw/master/BitcoinMiner.cl
wget --no-check-certificate https://github.com/m0mchil/poclbm/raw/master/BitcoinMiner.py
wget --no-check-certificate https://github.com/m0mchil/poclbm/raw/master/poclbm.py
wget --no-check-certificate https://github.com/m0mchil/poclbm/raw/master/sha256.py

however, when attempting to run, via

Code:

poclbm.py -d1 --host=deepbit.net --port=8332 --user=c*****@live.co.uk --pass=***##*

i get this error

Code:

poclbm.py: command not found

how to fix?
Many thanks! and ill be sure to donate some bit coin to the one who fixes my problem! (as soon as i mine it of course)
*edit*
if one is more inclined to help, will donate my first 6 hours of earnings to them. (gtx 570 )

furthermore, with the lack of replies to this thread im starting to wonder weather i have made a stupid mistake!

Much obliged, gentlemen!

.... you did change directories to the location where you extracted poclbm to before attempting to run that, right?

[allinvain]

Try: python ./poclbm.py -d1 --host=deepbit.net --port=8332 --user=c*****@live.co.uk --pass=***##*

no...

... it sounds like your issue is general command-line knowledge, which is definitely a prerequisite to doing something like GPU mining against the OpenCL API.

seems fairly a lengthy and drawn out process, would much rather somebody kindly give me the correct commands to fix the problem, in return for bitcoins i then make.

Ok, let's try.
I haven't tried this miner before and generally it's a pain in the ass to get everything installed on linux, so let's just try simple commands and see - maybe if you installed it via apt-get it also installed all dependencies and we get lucky. Otherwise I recommend you try LinuxCoin http://forum.bitcoin.org/?topic=7374.0

Now, go into the directory you installed your miner and type

Code:

python poclbm.py -d1 --host=deepbit.net --port=8332 --user=c*****@live.co.uk --pass=***##*

this has returned the same error code, 'python: can't open file 'poclbm.py': [Errno 2] No such file or directory'
ill switch to booting linux coin from a usb stick then.

thanks for the help.

Well, linux distribution at the moment is not the problem. The problem is that you try running that command, but you are not in the miner directory

i realise this, however how can i get to the correct directory, after not specifying one? 

[mewantsbitcoins]

Ok, I see that we won't get far this way. I recommend you download that LinuxCoin distro and then if you have problems starting your miner, come back here or feel free to pm me and we'll sort it out

haha, okay, thanks mewantsbitcoins, although in reality all you offered up was a bit of common sence and logik, will still honour my agreement.
much abliged.

Try,

Code:

chmod +x poclbm.py
./poclbm.py <args>

[mewantsbitcoins]

how adding execute permissions to nonexistent file is going to help?

cal.97 if you really determined to try and make this work try

Code:

sudo updatedb

Code:

locate poclbm.py

then you should see the path where your poclbm.py resides. or just post the output and we'll see where it's at

edit: are you downloading LinuxCoin?
