apt-get install build-essential libssl-dev libdb4.8-dev libdb4.8++-dev libboost-all-dev git
git clone git://github.com/litecoin-project/litecoin.git
cd litecoin/src
qmake "USE_UPNP=-"
make
cp litecoind /usr/bin/litecoind;

Only need this part if you want to solo mine

mkdir ~/.litecoin;
echo rpcuser=someusername > ~/.litecoin/litecoin.conf
echo rpcpassword=randompassword > ~/.litecoin/litecoin.conf
echo rpcallowip=127.0.0.1 > ~/.litecoin/litecoin.conf
litecoind -daemon

very nice.

I'd like to mention that litecoin has a prebuilt wallet binary that runs nicely. There is something oddly satisfying about building your own though.

thanks both. I'm on ubuntu and need a ppcoin and litecoin client. It's funny I feel pretty good using ubuntu, I've been writing python for my raspberry pi, I've got the OS working the way I like it but I'm still confused on how to install software sometimes.

If you tell me what coin and distro I can give you a quick how-to

nearly every distro compiles the same way

you need to have all the dependencies installed in advance, in particular "make"

generally the command in terminal is "make -f makefile.unix" for the daemon

for the Qt it'd be "qmake" followed by "make"

obviously you need to make sure your terminal is pointed at the directory housing the code, but that should do it for suse or any debian based distro.

it's considerably easier than compiling for mac or windows

edit: i suppose I should mention that the instructions for compiling the daemon need to be executed in the /src directory of the coin code, where as the qt is compiled in the main directory of the code where you find a file called bitcoin-qt.pro (can change based on the coin)
