Didn't try, the script is almost working out-of-the-box, you also need to "sudo make install" for gmp.

FYI, XPM priming (hp8, Ubuntu Server 13.04 64 bit) on Amazon EC2 with High-CPU On-Demand Instances:
- Medium (1.7 GiB of memory, 5 EC2 Compute Units): ~1,1kPPS
- Extra Large (7 GiB of memory, 20 EC2 Compute Units): ~4.5kPPS

I think that also may apply to the apt-get commands too.


I'd recommend running benchmarks on a few different parameter setups, you'd be surprised what kind of performance you can get.
On a 1 CPU (2.4GHz) DigitalOcean droplet, I can manage ~120 5-chain/hr or about ~1k PPS with optimized parameters.

Assuming that keep your debug.log file relatively clean (echo "" > ~/.primecoin/debug.log before you start), you can use this to calculate your running averages:
Code:
grep primemeter ~/.primecoin/debug.log | awk '{s1+=$4;s2+=$6;s3+=$8} END {printf"%10s: %10d\n%10s: %10d\n%10s: %10d\n","Prime/h",s1/NR,"Test/h",s2/NR,"5-Chain/h",s3/NR}'
