Raspberry Pi / Linux - Install Commands
Posted: Wed Oct 09, 2019 10:40 pm
Hey
I've got a Raspberry Pi 4B thats already running Bitcoin Core (Release) as a Full Node, compiled from source code... but... I'm "kinda noob" with Linux really, although I do "alrite", obviously...
Anyway, I've also got a Raspberry Pi 3B+ (writing this using that right now) that I'm trying to install Namecoin Core (Legacy) Full Node onto... I didn't wanna crap up my BTC Node, although it would probably run both at same time...
I also already run a Full Node of Namecoin Core v0.3.80 (Legacy) on windows, and it works well - I figured that was also the version I should probably run on the RPI cos it uses the GUI rather than the command line to manage domain names...
I tried following the Ubuntu instructions (https://software.opensuse.org/download. ... mecoin-gui) for both xUbuntu 16.04 and for xUbuntu 14.04 , cos, like I said, "kinda noob"...
I couldn't get xUbuntu 16.04 commands to work, but I did get the following slightly modified xUbuntu 14.04 commands to work:-
---
sudo sh -c "echo 'deb [trusted=yes] http://download.opensuse.org/repositori ... ntu_14.04/ /' > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/home:p_conrad:coins.list"
wget -nv https://download.opensuse.org/repositor ... elease.key -O Release.key
sudo apt-key add - < Release.key
sudo apt-get update --allow-unauthenticated
---
But, when I ran "sudo apt-get install namecoin-gui", I got the following error:-
---
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
namecoin-gui : Depends: libboost-filesystem1.54.0 but it is not installable
Depends: libboost-program-options1.54.0 but it is not installable
Depends: libboost-system1.54.0 but it is not installable
Depends: libboost-thread1.54.0 but it is not installable
Depends: libminiupnpc8 (>= 1.6) but it is not installable
Depends: libssl1.0.0 (>= 1.0.1) but it is not installable
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
---
I tried installing each manually and they all gave the same basic error:-
---
Package libboost-program-options1.54.0 is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
E: Package 'libboost-program-options1.54.0' has no installation candidate
---
Originally I tried to install dependencies so I could compile Namecoin Core (Legacy) from source...
These commands installed without problems:-
---
sudo apt-get install build-essential
sudo apt-get install libgtk2.0-dev
sudo apt-get install libssl-dev
---
These commands failed:-
---
sudo apt-get install libdb4.7-dev
sudo apt-get install libdb4.7++-dev
---
Again, with the same errors...
---
Package libdb4.7++-dev is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
E: Package 'libdb4.7++-dev' has no installation candidate
---
Now, I think I'm pretty much stuck, so if anyone can help with a list of install / compile commands, or tell me what is required next or whatever, that would be awesome and very much appreciated !!!
I don't know how much of a nitemare it would be to run both my BTC and NMC Full Nodes on the same RPI(4B), but this is obviously why I haven't done so far...
My RPI4B runs the BTC Blockchain from a 2.5" 1TB Seagate Hybrid USB(3) powered hard disk, in case that helps anyone...
I can easily re-flash and swap this 128GB MicroSD card and reinstall my BTC Node if necessary...
Much appreciated - any and every comment / reply ... Sorry was bit of an essay... Fingers crossed for something good...
Cheers !!!
