If you have a question, PM

It's forum, not Skype. Imagine if everyone sends a PM instead to comment
We would get rid of a lot of spam if people PM

If you have an issue with other users trying to experiment with bitcoin then you shouldn't really be on this board.

Again, I don't need a directive from you, but if you have a problem with users asking questions then you shouldn't really be on this forum
All I'm saying I have an issue with is people posting off topic.

I think you can agree that your question was extremely off topic can't you.
No, I asked a question about BTC Core + RPI
But it's not a direct response to the OP with anything useful.




Anyway, I'm locking this now so you will have to PM or open up a new thread if you want a response.

Well, I am allowed to ask a question right? If it's not your taste to reply then don't, and yes make it self-moderated.. You don't have to give me directive here to allow me asking things or not

Understood?

For the record, I have a few Pis sitting doing nothing, and I considered getting back into using linux by installing bitcoin core (and since I couldn't get linux to work on my computer yet because I have to do something with a vital partition so I'm waiting to back it up first).



As an update, "./configure --with-incompatible-bdb" did run successfully as far as I can tell.

Bitcoin Core on RPI? Seriously?
 Huh

Should've made this self mod shouldn't I?

Use --with-incompatible-bdb as advised on ./configure. It will work just fine.

I will try that. I was going to do it before but wasn't sure if it'd damage anything in the process or render certain parts of the final program unusable.

Some random software engineer
I tried installing bitcoin core on my raspberry pi a while back and got a berkeleyDB error when running ./configure.

The exact error is this:
Code:
configure: error: Found Berkeley DB other than 4.8, required for portable wallets (--with-incompatible-bdb to ignore or --disable-wallet to disable wallet functionality)

I ran the installation of all of the dependencies (including libdb-dev, libdb++-dev) and still can't work out where the error is coming from?

I know I need the version of 4.8 of berkeley db, just can't work out how to install it, I noticed in the realease notes that it says there's something different that has to be done for ubuntu and it doesn't work on raspbian.

I also found this so I'm working through some of those suggestions but quite a few are throwing other errors.
