Trouble running miner on Linux Mint

[Sinclair-Speccy]

Having some trouble trying to run rieMiner on my Linux machine that runs Linux Mint. Riecoin Core works just fine and installs fine however rieMiner does not. I got it from the main page that has the downloads but it ends in a weird file extension that I think is like a deb file (rieMiner0.93a2Deb64).

I have tried to execute it by making it executable with chmond -x rieMiner0.93a2Deb64 the running it with sudo ./rieMiner0.93a2Deb64 but nothing actually happens besides an error saying version `GLIBC_2.36' not found even though it is installed? I have tried it manually too by downloading it again and attempting to execute it on its own but it wants me to open it in a different program.

Trying to manually build it doesn't show much as I don't know where it puts the compiled file when I run the command to make it. I used the source code from the GitHub page

Danged GlibC... Impossible to Static Link, and at the same time so often breaking compatibility, such that even the latest Linux Mint or Ubuntu Lts will not support a release built on Debian 12... Well, I suppose that I should rebuild the binaries using Debian 11...

That being said, you can still easily build rieMiner with the normal instructions, just tested on a Live Linux Mint 21.2,

Code: Select all

# apt update
# apt install g++ make m4 git libgmp-dev libssl-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev nlohmann-json3-dev
git clone https://github.com/Pttn/rieMiner.git
cd rieMiner
make

According to what I saw in your screenshot in Mastodon, you did the complicated procedure used to produce the binaries that are distributed such as the one that you downloaded.

This is such a late reply but I followed the build stuff that was with it. I might need to try this eventually :P

Well, now you could also try the Binaries again, they have been rebuilt with a previous GlibC version (the one included with Debian 11 rather than Debian 12). I think that they should work with the latest Linux Mint Lts.
