      I’d like to run the feathercoin daemon on Debian.

      The only how-to I could find is about using (X)Ubuntu but i’d like to use Debian instead.

      I did try to install the .deb package but it complains about other missing packages.
      Can someone point me in the right direction about the requirements for compiling/installing ?

      Thanks

        It would be helpful, if you could provide some additional information:

        Where did you get the package from ( link) ?

        Can you provide a list of the packages, that your system is complaining to be missing?

        Normally an ‘apt-get update’ and then an 'apt-get install ’ for each of the missing packages should do the job.

        I installed the .deb on a fresh VM running debian 7 without problems and feathercoind started without any problems, too

          Hi, sure without info no help, my mistake :-(

          Here it is:

          I tried to automagically fix it with: apt-get -f install
          but it just removes feathercoin

            The .deb package is build for debian 7

            My machine shows

            Linux debian 3.2.0-4-686-pae #1 SMP Debian 3.2.51-1 i686 GNU/Linux

            So I assume you’re running an older version of Debian. (don’t bother with the amd64 vs i686, as this is just the 32bit/64 bit difference and not the cause of your problem)

            Is it possible, that you are on Debian 6?

            Unfortunately I’m no debian specialist, but you could try to install the missing packages manually.
            I know, it can be a nightmare.

            I found the libboost libraries here(example):

            [url=http://packages.debian.org/de/sid/libboost-filesystem1.49.0]http://packages.debian.org/de/sid/libboost-filesystem1.49.0[/url]

            Another possibility is to download the sources from Guthub. com:

            [url=https://github.com/FeatherCoin/Feathercoin-0.8.5]https://github.com/FeatherCoin/Feathercoin-0.8.5[/url]

            and build directly on your system…

              Ah yes i’m on Debian 6 (Squeeze) so thats probably the problem.
              It’s a production server so I cannot easily upgrade to a newer distro.

              I’ll try to install all packages manually if I can find them and write-up an how-to

                I wrote a guide to on compiling and running a Feathercoin Wallet in Virtualbox, can’t you do that on Debian?

                It’s in Technical development. It’s for a new client, mostly that is no problem, we are on RC1.

                  I’ve tried to compile it on Debian 6 but it’s not that simple.
                  It keeps on stumbling on version conflict of libssl-dev

                  I’m just trying to find out if a distro upgrade to Debian 7 is not easier route…

                    A Distro upgrade to Debian 7 would be the best solution.
                    If you can’t do that on a production system, may be you could set up a virtual machine and install Debian 7 there…

                    just a thought ;)

                      Running backups now so i can distro upgrade to Debian 7 later tonight.
                      If things work ok i can continue with compiling Feathercoin daemon :-)

                        If you are on Debian 7, just installing the .deb package from [url=http://software.opensuse.org/package/feathercoin]http://software.opensuse.org/package/feathercoin[/url] should do the job ;)

                        select the 0.8.5.0 version in the Debian 7 unstable section.

                        I would appreciate any feedback, whether it worked or not, so I can make the installation process more robust.

                          I decided to keep my servers on Debian 6 and wrote up a guide for installing P2Pool on Debian 6.
                          The guide is in the support section
