I ran into some of the mentioned errors while using the build (rekt for being lazy ).I didn't try the compile version of the guide (which probably works by the looks of it) and I got everything to compile on an ubuntu 16 droplet using:

https://steemit.com/das/@m-bernini/setting-das-masternode

NOTE:

The above guide has a typo. the line:

Should read:


Also, I haven't checked the 'for lazy people only' part. I skipped it and went straight from 'Remote' to 'Wallet'

After entering this command:
You'll need to press CTRL+w to open a search window. Type '20282' and hit enter to end up just where you need to be to change the number.


N.B, when you use the above guide (or polylogics guide) setting up a MN on a 5$ VPS instance you'll run into problems since the VPS will run out of memory (hey you can't have it all for 5$).

In order to compile successfully on a cheap ass VPN you'll need to make a swap file (it adds virtual memory so you'll make it through the compile)

The first thing you'll want to after you logged in to your droplet is make that swap file:


And make sure it persists after you reboot:


The last command will open up a file in nano. Here you add the following line at the bottom:


Save by pressing CTRL+x and pressing 'y' at the prompt.


Should now show a 1GB swap file which will get you through the compiling process.
