I manged to get past the ecdsa error.
Downloaded openssl, make all, make install
cp –R –L include/openssl /usr/include
nano –w /bitcoin/whereverthemakefileis/makefile.unix
then added –I”/usr/include” to the include path
now i have one last issue to get past, the error is below.
No rule to make target 'obj/nogui/util.o', needed by 'bitcoind'.
I have tried downloading the util.o from MIT but it had no effect.
