./autogen.sh: 4: ./autogen.sh: autoreconf: not found

You are moving forward a few steps, which is a good sign.
NOOBS probably left out some things not found by default in the raspbian stretch lite image used as a base to create those initial post instructions.

Code:
sudo apt-get install -y autoconf



So do I do this after "$ sudo apt-get upgrade -y"?

No need to redo all the steps. Just install autoconf as above and restart the process from the autogen.sh step.

WooHooooo I've got cgminer working! Thanks vh.
I added....
Code:
sudo apt-get install -y autoconf
After......
Code:
sudo apt-get upgrade -y
On a fresh install of Raspian. and what do you know it worked!

However now i've got
GekkoScience detect (1:7) failed to initialise (incorrect device?), resetting
 [2018-04-08 10:14:10.378] failed usb_init
 [2018-04-08 10:14:15.714] USB init, open device failed, err -3, you don't have privilege to access - BSC device 1:7
 [2018-04-08 10:14:15.715] See README file included for help

Am i correct in saying that this will be a voltage problem?

Ok guy and girls, i've hit another wall.

So hears what iv done;

Re formatted SD properly.

Re installed NOOBS

SD card in the pi and installed Raspian (Full Fat)

$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get upgrade -y

Reboot

$ sudo apt-get install -y build-essential git libusb-1.0-0-dev libusb-1.0-0 libcurl4-openssl-dev libncurses5-dev libudev-dev screen libtool automake pkg-config libjansson-dev

$ mkdir -p git/vthoang; cd git/vthoang
$ git clone https://github.com/vthoang/cgminer.git
$ cd cgminer

Then i get this.....

pi@raspberrypi:~/git/vthoang/cgminer $ CFLAGS="-O2" ./autogen.sh --enable-gekko
./autogen.sh: 4: ./autogen.sh: autoreconf: not found
Configuring...
./autogen.sh: 8: ./autogen.sh: /home/pi/git/vthoang/cgminer/configure: not found

What the hell am i doing so wrong (apart from know very little about mining/pi/commands)?
This is maybe my 8th atempt at getting cgminer on my pi.

Which operating system do you use?
Try the newest version of raspian. The commands on post #1 should be up to date.
https://downloads.raspberrypi.org/raspbian_lite_latest

Ooooww should I be using rasping lite?

Streeky - do a bit of research on "apt" an its sources list.

What that is you're trying to do is install some software. Debian and its children use apt as a package manager, which means it's a program that can be used to download and install pre-compiled software and other useful resources. It does so easily by maintaining a list of sources, which is to say servers that keep info on those packages, where to find them and how to download and install them. If a package is not found, it could be your sources list is incomplete or you could be using an old enough version that the default sources list is no longer accurate. Or for some reason you're not connecting to the internet properly.

It's not a 2Pac problem so much as an OS problem.
Sidehack,

Thanks for the reply and the info on "apt". As I said I'm in over my head but determined to learn. I've tred a few different tutorials on how to get my gekkos mining and they all must be out of date/in compleat (defiantly not my internet). Do you know of an up to date list of comands to get me mining?

Also dose anyone know if theres a PDF or book that lists comand line inputs and what they do?


Der-wasi,
I wasn't doing the for my first few atempts but every time for the last 5-7 times. Also used sudo apt-get upgrade -y after each update.

Page one has all the info you will ever need...

I've gone through all of page 1 and keep coming up with the same problem. As I said I'm really new to coding so I'm blind really as to what the commands are that I'm typing in.
