yeah you're not even in the right directory I bet...

try typing "ls" and then "pwd" to see where you are

once you find the folder where you have the phoenix miner type "cd " and press enter.

then try that whole python command..

Ding! correct answer! miner working fine after relocating my sha.256 file or something and followed your instructions!
thank you!
Much obliged my friend!

I think that error is related to sdk not being present. In short - get linuxcoin running Wink

taking iwantbitcoins advice ran the script again, and using your commands managed to locate bitminere0.something or other..

Code:

callam@wejwdfijsfhjnfhndlvjnvanldsndvnsvn:~/bitcoin-0.3.19$ python poclbm.py -d1 --host=deepbit.net --port=8332 --user=**** pass=****
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "poclbm.py", line 5, in
from BitcoinMiner import *
File "/home/callam/bitcoin-0.3.19/BitcoinMiner.py", line 8, in
from sha256 import *
ImportError: No module named sha256

that means your script did not install the miner for whatever reason. let me know how it goes with linuxcoin

cal.97 if you really determined to try and make this work try

Code:

sudo updatedb

Code:

locate poclbm.py

then you should see the path where your poclbm.py resides. or just post the output and we'll see where it's at

edit: are you downloading LinuxCoin?

currently installing linuxcoin on a usb stick, or attempting, and those commands return nothing :/

Code:

callam@wejwdfijsfhjnfhndlvjnvanldsndvnsvn:~$ sudo updatedb
[sudo] password for callam:
callam@wejwdfijsfhjnfhndlvjnvanldsndvnsvn:~$

&

Code:

callam@wejwdfijsfhjnfhndlvjnvanldsndvnsvn:~$ locate poclbm.py
callam@wejwdfijsfhjnfhndlvjnvanldsndvnsvn:~$

Ok, I see that we won't get far this way. I recommend you download that LinuxCoin distro and then if you have problems starting your miner, come back here or feel free to pm me and we'll sort it out Wink

haha, okay, thanks mewantsbitcoins, although in reality all you offered up was a bit of common sence and logik, will still honour my agreement.
much abliged.

Try,

Code:

chmod +x poclbm.py
./poclbm.py

Code:

callam@wejwdfijsfhjnfhndlvjnvanldsndvnsvn:~$ chmod +x poclbm.py
chmod: cannot access `poclbm.py': No such file or directory
callam@wejwdfijsfhjnfhndlvjnvanldsndvnsvn:~$ ./poclbm.py 
bash: syntax error near unexpected token `newline'
callam@wejwdfijsfhjnfhndlvjnvanldsndvnsvn:~$ python poclbm.py -d1 --host=deepbit.net --port=8332 --user=**** pass=****
python: can't open file 'poclbm.py': [Errno 2] No such file or directory
callam@wejwdfijsfhjnfhndlvjnvanldsndvnsvn:~$

Well, linux distribution at the moment is not the problem. The problem is that you try running that command, but you are not in the miner directory

i realise this, however how can i get to the correct directory, after not specifying one? Huh

Ok, let's try.
I haven't tried this miner before and generally it's a pain in the ass to get everything installed on linux, so let's just try simple commands and see - maybe if you installed it via apt-get it also installed all dependencies and we get lucky. Otherwise I recommend you try LinuxCoin http://forum.bitcoin.org/?topic=7374.0

Now, go into the directory you installed your miner and type

Code:

python poclbm.py -d1 --host=deepbit.net --port=8332 --user=c*****@live.co.uk --pass=***##*

this has returned the same error code, 'python: can't open file 'poclbm.py': [Errno 2] No such file or directory'
ill switch to booting linux coin from a usb stick then.

thanks for the help.

Well you might start here: http://tinyurl.com/3zeaywo

seems fairly a lengthy and drawn out process, would much rather somebody kindly give me the correct commands to fix the problem, in return for bitcoins i then make.
