Resolved.
Code:
make
and
Code:
make install
completed successfully, and armory ran correctly, generated a new keypair with no problems. Thanks again for your help.

Resolved those errors with
Code:
apt install autoconf
and then some new errors resolved by
Code:
apt install libtool

make is running now, will update shortly.

Ok, I'm following the directions from here: https://github.com/goatpig/BitcoinArmory/blob/master/linuxbuild/Linux_build_notes.md

And I'm encountering a couple of errors, not sure what I'm doing wrong:

Code:
root@tb:/home/henry/Applications/armory/BitcoinArmory# git checkout v0.96.2
Note: checking out 'v0.96.2'.

You are in 'detached HEAD' state. You can look around, make experimental
changes and commit them, and you can discard any commits you make in this
state without impacting any branches by performing another checkout.

If you want to create a new branch to retain commits you create, you may
do so (now or later) by using -b with the checkout command again. Example:

  git checkout -b

And then this error:
Code:
ERROR:  Unable to locate GNU Autoconf.

ERROR:  To prepare the BitcoinArmory build system from scratch,
        at least version 2.52 of GNU Autoconf must be installed.

Code:
autogen.sh does not need to be run on the same machine that will

root@tb:/home/henry/Applications/armory/BitcoinArmory# ./configure

I seem to have autoconf 2.69-10:

Code:
root@tb:/home/henry/Applications/armory/BitcoinArmory# apt list autoconf
Listing... Done
autoconf/stable 2.69-10 all

When I try to just continue with the make command, I get:

Code:
root@tb:/home/henry/Applications/armory/BitcoinArmory# make
make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found.  Stop.

So it looks like I'll have to figure out the autoconf issue to proceed. Any help greatly appreciated. Thanks again!

Thank you for the support. Really fantastic to reach out and receive a response so quickly from the main developer of the project.

I am cloning the git right now and will try building it from source and report back the results shortly.

It can work on these CPUs but you will have to either use Windows or build with that machine on Linux. My builds aren't compatible with stuff that old atm.

Looks like it's one of these, from 2006: https://ark.intel.com/products/29757/Intel-Core2-Duo-Processor-L7500-4M-Cache-1_60-GHz-800-MHz-FSB

Real bummer if it won't work; I was disappointed that I can't get it for my i386 or i686 hardware, I was going to use my old laptops as offline wallets; but I understand that everything is switching to AMD64 nowadays and that there's nothing to be done about it... But this is my main computer that I use daily for all my work and day-to-day computer usage! Really hope that it's compatible.

Hi, thank you for the assistance, really appreciate your time

Code:
henry@tb:~$ armory --offline
/home/henry
(ERROR) ArmoryUtils.py:3719 - Unsupported language  specified. Defaulting to English (en)
/usr/lib/armory/armoryengine/Transaction.py:2882: SyntaxWarning: import * only allowed at module level
  def PyCreateAndSignTx_old(srcTxOuts, dstAddrsVals):

Illegal instruction

Same situation, crashed after entry of the passphrase the third time, during creation of new wallet.

How can I get you a core dump? I just googled around and don't quite understand what to do to obtain that.

There's nothing in your logs indicating a crash, and I can't reproduce. Try with the --offline cli arg. Ultimately, get me a core dump.

So, I tried again with 0.96.2 with gcc 5.4, because my system seemed to say I have version 6.3;
Code:
henry@tb:~$ gcc -v
Using built-in specs.

Thread model: posix
gcc version 6.3.0 20170516 (Debian 6.3.0-18)

That version wouldn't launch at all. So I removed it and installed 0.96.2 with GCC 4.7, which launched, but is exhibiting the same exact symptom.

armorylog.txt: http://termbin.com/iad3

EDIT:
Also tried closing the pop-up that asks me if I want to import an existing wallet or create a new one, then going in the menu, and choosing create wallet. Still crashes at the same point -- right when you click next after entering the passphrase for the third time.

Ah, I found the binaries here https://github.com/goatpig/BitcoinArmory/releases/tag/v0.96.2

However, I'm wondering still if I should use the gcc 5.4 or 4.7 version. Any insight on that?

Upgrade to 0.96.2

Is that available as a .deb file? I don't see it on their homepage. If not, is my only option building it from source? If so, do I clone https://github.com/goatpig/BitcoinArmory ?

Hello,

After installing Armory to try it out and see how I like the software, I began by clicking the "create your first wallet" button, and when I got to the part where you enter the passphrase for the third time and clicked "next," the graphical user interface just vanished; dumped me back to my desktop. However, the ArmoryDB process remained running. The first time was with adding manual entropy, second time without; third time I tried a short and simple passphrase just to test; same results.

Relevant information:

My machine:
Panasonic Toughbook CF-30 MK3 running Debian
Code:
henry@tb:~/Downloads$ uname -a
Linux tb 4.9.0-3-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.9.30-2+deb9u3 (2017-08-06) x86_64 GNU/Linux
henry@tb:~/Downloads$ python --version
Python 2.7.13
henry@tb:~$ gcc --version
gcc (Debian 6.3.0-18) 6.3.0 20170516
henry@tb:~$ apt list python-psutil
python-psutil/stable,now 5.0.1-1 amd64 [installed,automatic]
henry@tb:~$ apt list python-twisted
python-twisted/stable,now 16.6.0-2 all [installed,automatic]

When I initially ran
Code:
dpkg -i armory_0.96-gcc4.7_amd64.deb
I got some errors about unmet dependencies, python-psutil and python-twisted; I ran
Code:
apt install python-psutil python-twisted
and got an error about incomplete installations advising me to run
Code:
apt --fix-broken install
which I did; when it completed, it said that armory had been installed.

My log files are here: https://bpaste.net/show/904ba91c2f02

Any assistance resolving this greatly appreciated. Any further information gladly provided.

Thank you!
