Thanks lomtax for all your efforts. I copied and pasted your revised install code for Linux and all goes well until I get this error message:

rpcrawtransaction.cpp:299:77:   required from here
/usr/include/boost/variant/get.hpp:178:5: error: invalid application of ‘sizeof’ to incomplete type ‘boost::STATIC_ASSERTION_FAILURE’

I must be closer than ever, but still won't fully make. FYI, yes I did sudo during the make install command. For now I'm still mining DGC to a paper wallet address and looking forward to sorting this out. I think I'm feeling nostalgic
for some simpler coins that just plain work and  I used Digital coin back when it first hit the scene. I liked it.

Thanks again if you have any ideas how I can move forward from here let me know. Probably something silly at this point.
