[SOLVED] How to install pushpoold and dependencies Slackware 14.0

gr33k · 07-28-2013, 05:29 PM

Hello All,

I'm trying to install pushpool (https://github.com/ArtForz/pushpool) on Slackware 14.0.

I'm running into a problem with the configure script when it's trying to detect libmemcached. I've installed a TON of different versions to no avail.

I've posted a thread here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=263736.0 to see if anyone has an answer (no replies yet), but most of their users appear to be using distro's with yum and apt-get...alas this is not an option on slackware of course.

I've installed BOTH from several source packages, and the slack packages, for memcached and libmemcached and can run memcached as a service successfully. I still get the following when trying to run configure:

Code:

~/poolproject/pushpool-tenebrix
 # ./configure --verbose

I'm out of ideas on how to get this to work. Any help on where to go from here, or a walkthrough of how someone may have got pushpool successfully installed on Slackware 14, would be greatly appreciated

Ultimately, I want to get a coin mining pool running:

Welcome to LQ.

Pushpoold will build OK with e.g. libmemcached version 0.43 .
* But not when "libmemcached-0.43" is built on Slackware 14.
* Can't see why it behaves this way , sorry ...

The easy workaround is to use e.g. converted rpm packages.
Example : libmemcached5-0.43-2pclos2010 + libmemcached-devel-0.43-2pclos2010

About libmemcached-1.0.15 : Most Linux OS's use versions "0.31" ... "1.0.8".
( Also no luck at using libmemcached-1.0.16 on Fedora 19.)

Your libmemcached is fine. Check your config.log, scroll back a few lines, and you'll notice that libmemcached.so was found, but the test failed because of a missing linker flag. Try to fix it by adding LIBS=-lpthread in front of the configure call, and you'll run into more autotools errors. You'll propably need to edit and fix Makefile.am and configure.ac before this will work (I don't know how to do this, sorry).

re: knudfl

I think you're on to it with the version that it supports being really old. I prefer to avoid premade install packages in fear it will break other things I have setup on this box.

re: Cesare

are you saying define it in the ./configure command like ./configure LIBS=-lpthread ?

If so do you have an example of the syntax by chance (assuming path use /usr/local/lib)?

Thank you both for your replies!!! I know this one is a hard one without having access to the server to mess around

Quote:

1) `libmemcached` is an extra package.

2) The naming like the example "libmemcached5" means you can have two
or more runtime versions installed at the same time.
No conflicts with different naming / different file names.

3) 'libmemcached-0.43~' is used in some "new" Linux OS's.
Examples : PCLinuxOS 2013.07 : "0.43" . And Ubuntu 12.04 LTS has "0.44".
Scientific Linux SL6.4 : Version 0.31 .

*** May be @Cesare is right that version 1.0.15 can be used :
If you can edit the buggy autotools files.

I'm a n00b and didn't know that LIBS=-lpthread goes BEFORE ./configure (lesson learned!)

Thank you Both for helping me get to the bottom of this! It's driven me nuts for so long I gave up and decided to go stratum-mining only. However, I came up on a situation where I need pushpool ON slackware. I can get this working like cake on Ubuntu...but that's (almost) cheating ;p

Now I get the curl error which many people have experienced.

So I thought the fix for that would have been to install curl from source but alas - not there yet...

Any ideas on how to fix that? I have it installed for sure.

# whereis libcurl [18:33:43]
libcurl: /usr/lib/libcurl.la /usr/lib/libcurl.so /usr/lib/libcurl.a /usr/local/lib/libcurl.la /usr/local/lib/libcurl.so /usr/local/lib/libcurl.a /usr/man/man3p/libcurl.3.gz /usr/man/man3/libcurl.3.gz /usr/share/man/man3p/libcurl.3.gz /usr/share/man/man3/libcurl.3.gz /usr/X11/man/man3p/libcurl.3.gz /usr/X11/man/man3/libcurl.3.gz

EDIT - Solved for pushpool-tenebrix build:

copied libcurl.m4 into ./m4 folder in source of pushpool - did this:
Then add string "ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS = -I m4" to file Makefile.am and edit file autogen.sh - replace string "aclocal" with "aclocal -I m4". (cit.)
re ran autogen.sh

ran: LIBS=-lpthread ./configure CFLAGS="-O3"

BAM FINALLY!
Thanx again!
