"sudo make install" after compiling on my system for my current version. does that mean i did both a compile and a local install? if that's the case, then i need to run "make uninstall" on the previous version before "make clean", right?

Typically you don't need to, as the same files as the previous install will be copied over, overwriting the previous install. But it's preferable to "make uninstall", as it guarantees the old files are removed, in case some of these files are not covered by the new install.

so i compiled my current version and run armory via the CLI by typing "armory" using the /usr/local/bin. thus, i'm running the binaries from the source folder without an install, correct, ? if so, do i just "make clean" before i compile this new version?

edit: wait, i think i ran "sudo make install" after compiling on my system for my current version. does that mean i did both a compile and a local install? if that's the case, then i need to run "make uninstall" on the previous version before "make clean", right?

No to the first paragraph, yes to the second:

make uninstall (sudo if it fails)
make clean
make
make install (sudo if it fails)

"Compile" is to build the binaries. Install is to setup the binaries on your system. If you use my builds you are only installing, if you build from source, you are "compiling" then installing. If you build from source you could also only "compile" and run the binaries from the source folder, without installing.

I put compile in quotes cause the actual term is to build the binaries.

compile or install?

Before you compile you should "make clean". If you install, you should "make uninstall" on the previous version before "make clean".

as a housekeeping note, when we compile this new version, armory_0.96.3.992_src.tar.gz, should we be doing anything to the old version first (uninstall)? or just compile over the top of the old version w/o worrying about anything?

Soo the problem is solved. I noticed that ArmoryDB.exe (probably from an older version of Armory) was still running. I ended that process, moved log files, and now Armory is working. Thanks for the help.

satoshi-datadir does need to be D:\Bitcoin\blocks, but anyway, please post your full logs using this particular flag. Thanks.

Is that the full path where the blockchain resides? It's not in D:\Bitcoin\blocks or something similar?

No, D:\Bitcoin\ is the home directory, and then D:\Bitcoin\blocks\ is where the blockchain resides. I tried it the other way, no change:

Code:

2018-01-16 06:18:41 (INFO) -- ArmoryUtils.pyc:1301 -     satoshiHome     : D:\Bitcoin\blocks
...
2018-01-16 06:18:44 (ERROR) -- BDM.pyc:197 - DB error: C:\Users\[user]\AppData\Roaming/Bitcoin/blocks is not a valid path

I started Armory with --satoshi-datadir="D:\Bitcoin" and it's not connecting to my Bitcoin Core node. The log looks like it reads this, but then looks for the DB in the wrong place:

Code:

2018-01-15 22:07:29 (INFO) -- ArmoryUtils.pyc:1301 -     satoshiHome     : D:\Bitcoin
2018-01-15 22:07:32 (ERROR) -- BDM.pyc:197 - DB error: C:\Users\[user]\AppData\Roaming/Bitcoin/blocks is not a valid path

Let me know if I should provide full logs or do something different.
