Ubuntu 12.10 is still 4 months away. Also, many people (like me) will stay on 12.04 because this is a release with long term support.
The problem is that all the Linux distributions are moving towards g++ 4.7 which implements the C++11 standard fully and were complaining about compilation problems.
It turns out that g++ 4.6 implements the C++11 incorrectly which causes an incompatibility for me (that I had to workaround using macros). I eventually said whatever and decided to fully transition to 4.7 as it will become the norm in the new Ubuntu which is being released in ~2 months time.

I plan to make Ubuntu builds again when the new version (Quantal) is released.

I'm putting a bounty down for the creation of a QT client based upon libbitcoin. (must be judged to be 'beta' by me).

- serialisation has changed. more intuitive and uses native c++ features to support extendability for saving and loading of bitcoin messages.
- async_service now provides access to underlying io_service ptr which is now the requirement for services.

OK, seems like Ubuntu Quantal uses g++ 4.7 (release date is October) and many distributions are phasing in the new toolchain. I think it's because g++ 4.7 implements the vast majority of the new C++ standard so it's being fast tracked in.
I'm upgrading to a system with 4.7 so hopefully I should be get it working with the new compiler now.

Berkeley DB, as it's being used in the existing bitcoin client, is a perfect example of why not to use NoSQL.
Could you please elaborate...? Berkeley DB, as it's being used in the existing bitcoin client, is a perfect example of why not to use NoSQL.
Has Satoshi ever explained his choice for BerkeleyDB instead of a SQL-based relationnal db?
same problem here with GCC4.7 
GCC 4.7 has a bug in it. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4940259/c11-lambdas-require-capturing-this-to-call-static-member-function
I need to get around to installing that compiler and adding a workaround for that. GCC 4.6 is fine.
No idea why Linux distributions like Arch are including an unstable compiler!!
same problem here with GCC4.7

Yes, that's very weird. It should be fine connecting to localhost. Have you got an IP address I can connect to your bitcoind? It could be that you're running an old version of bitcoin (the version packet has changed since older versions). If that's the case then trying the latest should work.
I'm on Skype as zgenjix or Freenode IRC in #bitcoinconsultancy as genjix
Ring ring, live support. How can I help you sir?

are you using the latest repos from http://gitorious.org/libbitcoin/ ?
If so can you paste the error here (if different from above). It looks like you're using a libbitcoin from a few days ago but latest python bindings.

Updating to the newest git head for libbitcoin seems to have fixed the last error. I don't know how I ended up with versions that didn't match considering I literally installed the system fresh last night and checked out the projects one after the other, but w/e.
Weeee!

So I'm trying to use your tutorials, but they aren't working for me. I'm not running bitcoind locally, so I think that might be why.
Both tutorial.py and first500.py give this:
Code:
$ python tutorial.py
s: version (112 bytes)
Bad header received.
s: version (112 bytes)
Bad header received.
For tutorial.py, I changed self.net.connect to my system running bitcoind and also I tried changing vers.address_you.ip.
For first500.py, I changed hs.connect to my system, but it also failed.
I am trying to build a lightweight tool for querying nodes to get their version. Right now, one of my systems has all of the tor hidden services added as nodes, but many of those services are offline and it takes forever trying to connect to all of them. I was hoping to use PyTorCtl and libbitcoin to map all of the addresses and then return versions for all of the nodes that are up. I could then drop this list of nodes that I know to be online and running current versions into my bitcoin.conf. From there it wouldn't be too much work to make it into a bot that updates the wiki page.
It seems to connect, but the handshake is failing.
are you using the latest repos from http://gitorious.org/libbitcoin/ ?
If so can you paste the error here (if different from above). It looks like you're using a libbitcoin from a few days ago but latest python bindings.

I would stay away from the packages for the time being. Once I make a 1.0 release this month then I will update them.
If anyone manages to get it to build, then build instructions would be much appreciated. I wrote these:

I installed from the package first, and when that didn't work I used the guide at bitcoinconsultancy. While that works, I still can't get the python bindings built. I'm flying blind though since you don't have any docs for the python module. If anyone manages to get it to build, then build instructions would be much appreciated. I wrote these:

[libbitcoin] First 500 blocks
libbitcoin is a toolkit based library and can be leveraged with different design patterns depending on the task or application. Previously we examined using libbitcoin using an active object pattern. In this example we will use an imperative style program to connect to a bitcoin node and download the first 500 blocks.

Add these 2 lines to the end of your /etc/apt/sources.list
Code:
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/zgenjix/libbitcoin/ubuntu oneiric main
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/zgenjix/libbitcoin/ubuntu oneiric main
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/zgenjix/libbitcoin/ubuntu oneiric main
I think this should be "http://ppa.launchpad.net/genjix" without a "z"
I also added it to "/etc/apt/sources.list.d/libbitcoin.list" instead of "/etc/apt/sources.list"
Now lets see if I can get the python bindings built

So I'm running debian 6.0.4 (squeeze) and trying to get this installed for a small project.
I'm just going to install it on an ubuntu system instead, but figured I would post my error log anyway.
