Thanks GP. Not sure what to do with that link. Do I run in in terminal or do I save configure.ac in the Armory folder and run that via terminal to compile?

pkg-config 'QtCore'
returns this:

The program 'pkg-config' can be found in the following packages:
* pkg-config
* pkgconf


pkg-config 'QtGui'
Returns exactly the same:

The program 'pkg-config' can be found in the following packages:
* pkg-config
* pkgconf

Thanks for the leads GP. I found some interesting info. Could this be a clash with Kubuntu 17.04 which im on? Look at this:

1 The output of the 0.96.1 build process ends with:
        configure: error: missing QTcore library, make sure libqt4core4 and libqt-dev are installed.

But those packages are not listed on the repos. Instead there are these files listed (found them with your search string:

libqtcore4
libqt4-dev

When I try to install those packages as listed on the repos, i get an 'already installed not updated' message.

Is that why the compiler cannot find those? It is looking for the wrong package names for Kubuntu 17.04 users?
Its looking for libqt4core4 instead of libqtcore4 and libqt-dev instead of libqt4-dev?


on Kubuntu package search https://packages.ubuntu.com/
A search for "qt4 core" shows package "libqt4-core" available for Trusty 14.04, but if you select 'Zesty' under "search in specific suite" It returns no results.

https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?suite=zesty&searchon=names&keywords=qt4%20core


Is this a 0.96.1 compatibility issue with Kubuntu 17.04 Zesty ?

Also, looking at the KInfocenter, it shows the QT version for Kubuntu 17.04 as being v5.7.1

Could be something?

Thanks again man, respect to you for helping so many people.

Hi thanks for the tip.
When i search for those packages, either on the repositories, or on https://packages.ubuntu.com/ I get "unable to locate package"

So Im still stuck with this error

checking for lrelease... yes
./configure line 18202: pkg-config: command not found
configure: error: missing QTcore library, make sure libqt4core4 and libqt-dev are installed.

When I try to run ./configure

Does anyone know the solution?

Thanks GP

I did have 0.96.0 running on this machine at one point. So what version would you recomend i build? (using 0.96-beta on offline mc)

I was told in another thread that the above error meant that my CPU couldn't handle the version number 0.96.1
So I downgraded to 0.96.0 which I had running previously on the same computer before the upgrade. See below for version numbers.

After install, I still get the above error! Didn't used to before which I can be sure of as I have 0.96.0 on an offline machine. Although that one mysteriously is a beta version which i didn't realise until I checked the version number 0.96.0-beta-a3dO1aa722.
Not sure if this is relevant? Or Im using a sensible version on my offline?. Although its likely I had this beta version on the online machine too as I would have just used the same download.

Now I cant find this beta version anywhere online. Is that what I need? (that beta version) to get it running on the online machine and talking to the offline? or is there something else im missing to do with the above error in the title?

2nd question:
what is the difference between the 2 files:
Armory 0.96.0 for Ubuntu/Debian 64-bit with GCC 4.7
Armory 0.96.0 for Ubuntu/Debian 64-bit with GCC 5.3

I checked gcc and I have 6.3 so does that mean I need Armory 0.96.0 for Ubuntu/Debian 64-bit with GCC 5.3 or 4.7?

I get the error in the title with both these files after install. Fyi, I do a full remove with --purge before installing anoter and its a frsh install of Linux.

Why is there no info on te git site? Why am I so confused? Help!

After unzipping electrum-2.8.3.tar.gz to a folder, i moved into that forlder in terminal and ran:
./electrum

and i get the error:
./electrum: Permission denied error

I searched and found a suggestion to change permissions on the electrum.py file to make it executable. So I tried that and it seems to have worked, Electrum Wallet has opened. But I just wanted to check if that sounds right to everyone? Would the Electrum package have to have the permissions updated right after unzipping to make it work or am i missing something? That doesn't seem right that it wouldn't already have the correct perms 'out of the box'?

Do the tar.gz files have to be complied? Not sure if this is going in the right direction?

Thanks!

No
HOurs not days, its only scanning, not downloading or verifying

Thanks! That guide is much more up to date than the Linux guide I was using from the source download.

Perhaps that should be updated?

Anyway, it wnt through quickly as everything was already installed. I ran the steps in the linked file and got the same error:

checking for lrelease... yes
./configure line 18202: pkg-config: command not found
configure: error: missing QTcore library, make sure libqt4core4 and libqt-dev are installed.

Hi again
I tried this (-zapwallettxes) and got the same error "no inputs found or already spent"

If anyone has any ideas to try please share.

Armory wont run without those dependencies. You either download and install them all manually via usb stick, or put it online and update everything.

home/.armory

When in /home enable 'view hidden files'

They should be in home/.armory

They may well have been updated by Armory even though it seemingly failed to do anything, run armory and then posts those logs.

Yes, condense your post. The magic Elves on here have limited time and dont read novels Condense your post to a few questions and post those logs

I just rebuilt DB's and it only took 3 days or so. Have you got an old clogged machine? You might be having some kid of memory or disk errors after weeks of grinding. just a thought.

Post the error logs and someone will be able to help you.

Thanks HCp im a lot closer now!

I pressed on, skipped importing Goatpigs sig, guessd thats good to go

Successfully completed:

$ autoconf
$ autoreconf
$ automake

All looking good, then

$ ./configure

Goes through a long process and fails with:

checking for lrelease... yes
./configure line 18202: pkg-config: command not found
configure: error: missing QTcore library, make sure libqt4core4 and libqt-dev are installed.

They are both installed as is every Qtcore package I could find. Ive also read every forum there is.

Anyone know a fix for this qtcore problem?

Did you try the rescan and rebuild options in armory?

If you simplify your post down to a few lines, and include your error logs for your AG machine someone will help

Thanks for the tip, I am about to give this a try!

QQ: If I go ahead and remove those unconfirmed transactions, which is the whole balance of the wallet, how will the offline wallet be able to verify anything afterwards? It couldn't find the inputs on the previous attempt to sign, so it's counter intuitive to me, to remove the limited data I do have (the unconfirmed transactions) would that force the offline wallet to use the inputs from the raw transaction? If that's the idea I'll give it a try.

Thanks again for the help and the lead to the documentation which is helpful but very technical!

Could someone ok what I have done as I'm a bit worried about this!

1 I've changed the permissions on home/username/.gnupg to 'Forbidden' for 'Group' and 'Others' because of that security warning in the post above.
This is very worrying as i cloned the git, then received that warning when trying to verify it. Did it set itself up incorrectly?

Anyway, I pressed on and

2 Reinstalled Git with "git checkout v0.96.1" which worked and I got back "HEAD is now at a3492eld.... bump version"

3 Imported Goatpigs PGP key with:
gpg --import file.txt



4 When I run:

5 gpg --recv-keys --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com 4922589A

6 I get :

gpg: key xxxx1176492xxxxx: "goatpig (Offline signing key for Armory releases) <moothecowlord@gmail.com>" 4 new signatures
gpg: no ultimately trusted keys found
gpg: Total number processed: 1
gpg:         new signatures: 4


continuing anyway, I run
cd /bitcoinarmory

then
$ git tag -v v0.96.1

and I get
object xxxxx1d30ca7256xxxxxxxxx97b9d5bc539c1e
type commit
tag v0.96.1
tagger goatpig <mootxxxxxord@gmail.com> 1501092062 +0200

Primary key fingerprint: xxxx 707F xxxx 968B DF63  xxxx 8C52 1176 xxxx xxxx


I added xxx's to hide any potentially sensitive stuff


Does anyone know where I am going wrong?

More info: There are some odd looking files in that folder with the suspect permissions home/username/.gnupg such as:

a folder /private-keys-v1.d
pbring.kbx
trustdb.gpg
S.uiserver

Does this look right? Is it ok to continue the build from source process?

I didn't explain that very well! to simplify

1 I had a Bitcoin core wallet stored offline on a USB
2 I didn't want to expose this to the web, so imported it to an air gapped machine.
3 The balances show in this wallet, but they are unconfirmed as this machine does not have the blockchain
3 I have set up an Elctrum offline wallet on this air gapped machine
4 I have set up an Electrum watching only wallet on an online machine
5 I have checked blockchain info and all the inputs and balance is showing for my receive address
6 I go to coinb.in and create a new transaction
7 coinb.in sees the correct balance and inputs
8 Raw transaction is created and taken to air gapped machine to sign with BTcore
9 Bt core gives the error "no inputs found or already spent" when I try to sign it in the debug window.

I think that explains it much better than my previous post!

Grateful for any suggestions!
