This seemed to be a problem in MacOS last year according to my searches, however I'm in linux amd64 so I'm not sure whether I'm finding the same problem or not. This is Debian wheezy, with boost 1.49. I'm working with bitcoin 0.9.0 as downloaded from https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/archive/v0.9.0.tar.gz. config.log is

Main problem from config.log is:

Code:

/usr/include/boost/thread/xtime.hpp:23:5: error: expected identifier before numeric constant

That line is probably:

Code:

    TIME_UTC=1,

This causes a symbol collision in some environments with a libc++ macro.
Later boost versions changed this to TIME_UTC_.

I'm not sure what the proper way to resolve this is, apart from upgrading boost.

In any case this is a boost issue, it also appears on Google various places outside the context of building bitcoin. There are some workarounds:

whats the benefit of v0.9.0? n do blockchain.info users need to do anything?

NO, your bitcoin installation is being handled by blockchain.info. However you should be running your own software.

it seems that the new wallet not like folder with é or è Sad

I have an é in my folder name, and unable to install the file of the first launch on it. Other folders no problem

Seems a problem with UTF8 in file names. Strange. What OS?

Win 8.1 64bits

OK created an issue

I got the same issue but I'm on Windows 7 SP1 64bits.

@alphateam, arfeniel:
Can anyone suffering from the 'datadir cannot contain special characters' (when choosing datadir through GUI) problem help testing: https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/3935 ? A test build is available.

It takes 18Gb already, am I right that to move data folder from C:\Users\User\AppData\Roaming to another disc or location I should add bitcoin-qt.exe -datadir=D:\ to a shortcut for example (on Win7)?
Thanks.

No need for such wrapper scripts unless you have multiple copies of the block chain around.
Try passing -choosedatadir (once) to set the datadir in the registry.

Sorry does this mean that bitcoin-qt 0.9.0 doesn't automatically access the .bitcoin/bitcoin.conf file from the users home folder like 0.8.6 does?

It does, but it doesn't parse -datadir specified in the configuration file currently (see issue https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/3905).

The recommended way to use another data directory is to use -choosedatadir, which will store the data directory in the registry.

I was using 0.8.4 before.I uninstalled it using windows uninstaller.restarted comp.Then installed 0.9.0..Its up and running already with all info from previous version.Is this normal?I thought It was suppose to install the blockchain again?

Yes that is normal you only need to redownload/reindex the blockchain if you were using 0.7.2 or earlier.

That has NOT been the case for me. I was using 0.8.6 and I got a message this morning from bitcoin-qt that it's going to have to reindex the entire blockchain. It's telling me now that it's 51 weeks behind, I'm really not happy about this being necessary. I'm pretty sure 0.8.6 was the most recent stable version before 0.9.0, which would mean that everyone using Windows 7 is having to reindex.

Granted, I did not uninstall the old version like this poster did, but it looked like the installer said all I had to do was turn off bitcoin-qt, not uninstalling it completely. So I followed the directions.

I have Windows 7...no problems here.
I turned it off, uninstalled it and then installed the new one...no problems, didn't index anything, it didn't even need to sync because I was already up to date on the 0.8.6.

That worked, thank you. Next stumbling block: It seems the data directories for the blocks and wallet have changed? The client starts with 270 weeks back. Where can I set the datadir?

I didn't have to set my directory but this may help as a terminal command option -datadir= Specify data directory

Edit: I don't know if this has anything to do with it but you may have to install Berkley DB 4.8 but others here will know better than me about that. Don't do it based on my advice. I did to avoid the error I was getting when compiling my own.

Code:

./bitcoin-qt -datadir=/home/xyz/.bitcoin &

Worked like a charm for me.

As an added bonus there are now several more bitcoins in my wallet. Not sure what happened there, but judging from the time it took to start bitcoin core it must have done a re-scan and found same additional tx. (?)

Sorry does this mean that bitcoin-qt 0.9.0 doesn't automatically access the .bitcoin/bitcoin.conf file from the users home folder like 0.8.6 does?

Thanks,

reindexing blockchain ... proove that you have many problem on your HDD.
i have installed the v0.9 on 2 computer (WinXP and Win8) = no indexing, no problem.

I suppose that's possible, it does take longer to boot up than it used to, although it's a 2.5 year old computer, so that's to be expected to some degree. I did just run disk defragmenter the other day though, and it said my hard drive was only 1% fragmented. Really the only program that's giving me occasional problems lately is a Firefox and I just figure that's because I have eight addons running, and probably about a thousand bookmarks by now.

Is anyone else having this problem with more recent version of bitcoin-qt? It's up to 22 weeks behind now, so at the rate it's going, it should finish by the end of the day, so it's not the end of the world, just means the hard drive is getting a lot more activity than normal.

but, because of the 400Mo of RAM needed by the default setting of the CACHE (100Mo) ... i have decreased this setting to 10Mo.

I had a look at the *nix install notes for bitcoin-qt 0.9.0 and wasn't able to determine what I need to run to make / install bitcoin-qt from the source that I wonder if someone could help me?

I need to compile it under openSUSE 13.1, I currently have 0.8.6 which I downloaded from the software.opensuse.org site, there isn't an update yet, I suspect the people who have compiled 0.8.6 either haven't setup 0.9.0 on their systems or aren't bitcoin mining anymore. Sad

Thanks
