Fresh Mint KDE 18.1 virtual machine, git cloned https://github.com/aurarad/auroracoin/

Did this:

Code:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:bitcoin/bitcoin
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install libdb4.8-dev libdb4.8++-dev

Running ./configure fails with this error:

Code:

configure: error: libdb_cxx headers missing

Code:

$ locate libdb_cxx
/usr/lib/libdb_cxx-4.8.a
/usr/lib/libdb_cxx-4.8.la
/usr/lib/libdb_cxx-4.8.so
/usr/lib/libdb_cxx-4.so
/usr/lib/libdb_cxx.a
/usr/lib/libdb_cxx.so

How to fix?

You're using the wrong DB. You can try:

Code:

./configure --with-incompatible-bdb

If that doesn't work:

Code:

cd auroracoin
BITCOIN_ROOT=$(pwd)
BDB_PREFIX="${BITCOIN_ROOT}/db5"
mkdir -p $BDB_PREFIX
wget 'http://download.oracle.com/berkeley-db/db-5.3.28.NC.tar.gz'
echo '08238e59736d1aacdd47cfb8e68684c695516c37f4fbe1b8267dde58dc3a576c db-5.3.28.NC.tar.gz' | sha256sum -c
tar -xzvf db-5.3.28.NC.tar.gz
cd db-5.3.28.NC/build_unix/
../dist/configure --enable-cxx --disable-shared --with-pic --prefix=$BDB_PREFIX
make install
cd $BITCOIN_ROOT
chmod +x autogen.sh
chmod +x share/genbuild.sh
chmod +x src/leveldb/build_detect_platform
./autogen.sh
./configure LDFLAGS="-L${BDB_PREFIX}/lib/" CPPFLAGS="-I${BDB_PREFIX}/include/"
make
