Also it is worth mentioning that the instructions to build boost on this thread caused troubles later on - I had to go back and build boost and add --with-regex
Bitcoin doesn't need Boost.Regex, HoboNickels does.
Berkely database did not come with libdb_cxx.a
When configured and compiled correctly you will have both libdb.a and libdb_cxx.a, try cleaning and compiling again. HoboNickels seems to compile just fine on my build system.
Yep you are right, my db did not build correctly. I had the wrong version of gcc
Anyways, this thread has been very helpful for me, thanks! I'll be sending a btc tip your way.
