Back up and running so to speak... Got all other coins but EGC running. Seem's it's the only Linux QT that doesn't want to start. Most likely a library problem which is weird, because if it's so closely based to BTC like most all other cryptos. It should run by default.

Either way, not something I'm digging in to tonight. But still think if a QT was made for Linux off the getgo. Alot of this compliation stuff would be a moot point. I can't be the only one who thinks this heh

I just dont want to F'K up another system to the point of redoing it because I have to get into all this library jazz just to get this one coin running like before.

What OS are you working with now?

There are different things that need to be done with different OS systems. 'Horses for courses' as the saying goes mate.

We run RHEL based systems, and as such, are the LEAST supported, which means we have learned more in our compilation space then almost any one else because of the 'ease' of compilation under Debian/Ubuntu systems. I say 'ease' only because the devs themselves usually DO NOT support RHEL based systems as a base level codebase. The reasons behind that are understandable, but still not fair on us RHEL based people. So CWI have changed a LOT of the setups, and ALL our systems (bar the newest test systems - as we will be supporting both OS based systems) are RHEL based - CentOS 7 x64 and Fedora 27/28 x64.

Windows is Windows, no matter which way you look at it, which is also one of the easiest systems to hack. It is standard and works ONE way. So one backdoor to Windows will be effective on ALL Windows systems.

Linux distros are very very VERY different, and also the reason why we have the most headaches with them. Simply because EACH distro requires different settings, no matter how 'similar' those settings may be.

I actually don't have time to read back mate, so if there is something we can help in anyway, please let me know directly. Skype is the best way to get me - chrysophylax69.

I've been there in the past with something similar to dll hell, currently only running windows systems - but planning on getting some linux boxes together in the next few months - I'll likely be in the same boat

OK ...

Advice then - if there is any chance of you setting up a VM on your Windows system to 'start' the Linux experience by messing with a sandboxed environment, so so. It will save you a HUGE amount of headaches come the time that you do a full Linux install.

Do a few VM if possible. One Fedora 27/28 x64. One CentOS 7 x64. One Debian. One Ubuntu.

We chose RHEL based (RedHat Enterprise Linux) because I personaly am RedHat fluent, and can back the OS itself. Any derivative distro of RHEL (like CentOS, Scientific Linux, Fedora (community based RHEL)) we can usually work with also once you learn the basis of the RHEL system. Same with Debian/Ubuntu except for one thing. The basis of using these systems is that you won't have the frustrating learning experience that RHEL based systems have, due to the support the dev provide in the Crypto community. We chose against the grain, and remain that way until ALL OS systems can become equal. This also means that one cannot learn much without being confronted with issues that require research and learnign to fix.

So it is up to you what your end goal will be. Easy compilation/install with a lot of support but learn little? Or difficult installation with little support, but learn a huge amount in the process?
