 23<p>So I setout to try a setup of <a href="https://github.com/vinced/namecoin">Namecoin</a>, the sibling to <a href="http://bitcoin.org/">Bitcoin</a> that is used for <a href="https://bitcointalk.org/?topic=6017.0">name/value storage</a> and is the foundation for the <a href="http://dot-bit.org/Main_Page">dot-bit project</a>.  The dependencies were not explicitly laid out in the README so I wrote up the things I found I needed.  Hopefully someone else doing the same thing will not have to do as much searching as I did.</p>

 25<ul>
 26<li>Setup: namecoin version 0.3.24.64-beta</li>
 27<li>Target: Ubuntu 11.10 (x64), Amazon EC2 (Server) and Desktop</li>
 28</ul>

 37cd namecoin/src
 38make -f makefile.unix USE_UPNP=
 39</code></p>
 40
 41<p>I built my install list from the headers that were missing from a mostly generic 11.10 install. The list of the errors I came across are below. Shoot me a line if anyone comes across other packages that need added to the list.</p>
 42
 43<p>If you get this far you can start running namecoind which is well documented here: <a href="http://www.bluishcoder.co.nz/2011/05/12/namecoin-a-dns-alternative-based-on-bitcoin.html">Post Install</a></p>

 45<p>If you have compilation errors you can read more after the jump.</p>

 70<p>If that fails ...
 71For some reason libdb4.7++-dev is not in the 11.10 server repositories, probably because the 4.7 and 4.7++ dev libraries have some conflicts. My workaround was to get 4.7++ and then manually install the 4.7++-dev.deb from launchpad. This is unstable and apt-get -f install will remove 4.7++-dev but for the compilation I didn't have any extra issues. When I ran the install on my desktop 11.10 libdb4.7++-dev was in the repositories so you only get this error 11.10 server :|.</p>
