in ubuntu there is no need for command it is very easy just go to the store and search for the bitcoin software -install .

No, this is a security issue. The bitcoind distributed with Ubuntu is version 0.3.24~dfsg-1, which is basically ancient.

centos6 uses qt 4.6 u can see the issue here https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/4799

you can either upgrade qt to qt4.8.4 using

rpm -ivh http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/michal_lubinski:/Fuplo/CentOS_CentOS-6/x86_64/qt-devel-4.8.4-2.1.x86_64.rpm

   for x86_64 64bit systems or

rpm -ivh http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/michal_lubinski:/Fuplo/CentOS_CentOS-6/i686/qt-devel-4.8.4-2.1.i686.rpm

   for i686 32bit systems.

you could also compile bitcoin yourself.

installing bitcoin on ubuntu Linux is generally very easy.  on ubuntu u can quickly get up and running with 3 commands.

$ sudo apt-add-repository ppa:bitcoin/
bitcoin
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install bitcoin-qt

Yeah, CentOS is definitely problematic. It ships a hobbled openssl that doesn't include *gasp* EC operations (which, of course, Bitcoin uses extensively). In addition, your symbol error is caused by the fact that CentOS publishes an out-of-date QT version.

If you use Ubuntu, installing a recent version that doesn't link to qt from the daemon for no reason is a breeze, as is compiling from source (which I'd be happy to help with as needed).

Best of luck!

please email me at [email protected] ? I could hire you to do the install and I have other projects open as well.

bitcoind is just the server and bitcoin-qt is the gpu on the program I think.

GUI, not GPU. bitcoin-qt is a frontend.

Are you sure that you are running bitcoind and not bitcoin-qt? The tarball is compiled with desktop systems in mind, so you might have better luck compiling from source. I'll write up a quick guide ASAP.

oh I see .. I am going here (https://bitcoin.org/en/download) and downloading the linux version of 'Bitcoin Core'

Didn't realize there was a difference anymore between bitcoind and bitcoinqt ..

I am doing everything from bash command line so maybe this version of bitcoin is not the right one?  I could compile from source if I had instructions, but I've never done it before.

Edit: Hmm, EC has been stripped from CentOS repositories for some extremely strange reason. The build process for a fixed openssl is quite complex and I do not have a CentOS box to test on.

Edit 2: libQtGui.so.4 is provided by the `qt-x11` package. It is possible that the executable is linked to it for some reason but doesn't actually need a screen to draw to, so you could try
Code:
yum install qt-x11
and try to run bitcoind again.

well, I need to do it myself, I just need some step-by-step instructions. I am running a VPS with Centos 6 64bit.  It shouldn't be too hard to provide basic instructions on how to do it.

So far I have downloaded the tarball from bitcoin.org, unzipped it, and tried to run bitcoin-qt but I get this error:

 error while loading shared libraries: libQtGui.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I've sent you a PM that might help

I've already seen those pages, but this shouldn't be so complex.  I'm sure it's just a series of 5 or 6 commands to get this thing installed. I just don't know what those commands are.

hi folks,

I am trying to install Bitcoind on a VPS running Centos 6 (64bit).

I will pay 0.12btc to anyone who helps me. I just need some assistance with command line because I am not having any luck with the install. Can anyone provide a series of commands that I can run in bash to install bitcoind ??

I have looked on google and surprisingly there are few (if any) tutorials for installing on Centos 6
