I love this software! It works fast and has the exact set of features I need!

Just one question: why would one want to run a public Electrum server, is there any incentive to do so?

For the moment there is no financial incentive to do so.
But I guess this could change in the future; servers operators could charge a small fee for the service they provide.

Maybe a donate button in Electrum itself? And when someone donates, it will be divided between all Electrum servers?

There is no incentive except supporting Electrum.

Sorry to bother you guys with all this, i'm just missing something probably. Anyway :

if i change to the directory ~/electrum that was created when i git cloned, and i give "./electrum" its working fine. In this directory there indeed a subdir called "lib".

My problem is that electrum doesnt seem to be correctly installed system wide. That is if i execute simply the command electrum in a shell or if i try the GUI icon of electrum in Gnome3.

Tachikoma asked me before about /usr/local/bin/electrum. So this is the output :

Code:

ls -l /usr/local/bin/electrum
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root staff 24542 Nov 23 13:08 /usr/local/bin/electrum

Code:

python
Python 2.7.3rc2 (default, Apr 22 2012, 22:30:17)
[GCC 4.6.3] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import electrum
>>> electrum.version.ELECTRUM_VERSION
'1.5.1'

do you happen to be launching electrum from a directory where a subdirectory named 'lib' is present?

do this to check if you installed it correctly:

Code:

~> python
Python 2.7.3 (default, Aug 1 2012, 05:14:39)
[GCC 4.6.3] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import electrum
>>> electrum.version.ELECTRUM_VERSION

Is /usr/local/bin/electrum a symlink and if so, where does it link to?

Did you install the initial version via git as well or via pip?

no it's not a link. Should i link it to the electrum that i execute from the source directory?
Initial version was installed via git as well.

Then the only logical conclusion is that the "sudo python setup.py install" command failed.

Code:

# python setup.py install

Does it run if you issue ./electrum from the source folder?

yes.

Code:

~/electrum$ ./electrum

works just fine.

How may i install it system wide, so as not to give ./electrum in the source folder?

Code:

su root -c "python setup.py install"

or

Code:

sudo python setup.py install

Whatever fits your setup best...

I'm using debian. Installing gettext made the trick. Thanks.

I'm going to assume you are on Ubuntu. Try an apt-get install gettext and running all the commands again. If you don't install it system wide be sure to launch it with ./electrum from your source folder.

I've installed version 1.0 with the git and compiling method. How may i upgrade to 1.5.1 now?

Edit : Actually i used git pull git://github.com/spesmilo/electrum.git and then followed the procedure according to site. So i get these :

Code:

python mki18n.py
xgettext -s --no-wrap -f app.fil --output=locale/messages.pot
sh: 1: xgettext: not found
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "mki18n.py", line 41, in
f = open(os.path.join('locale', 'messages.pot'),'r')
IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'locale/messages.pot'

and

Code:

electrum
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/local/bin/electrum", line 145, in
set_verbosity(options.verbose)
NameError: name 'set_verbosity' is not defined
