      First do an “aptitude search qrencode” and paste the result. That could explain that one problem with the file.

      [/quote]

      I ended up installing a missing package libqrencode-dev
      and now when I build new error comes up:

      [code]g++ -c -m64 -pipe -O2 -Wall -W -D_REENTRANT -DQT_WEBKIT -DQT_NO_DEBUG -DQT_GUI_LIB -DQT_CORE_LIB -DQT_SHARED -I/usr/share/qt4/mkspecs/linux-g+±64 -I. -I/usr/include/qt4/QtCore -I/usr/include/qt4/QtGui -I/usr/include/qt4 -I. -Isrc -Isrc/json -Isrc/qt -Isrc/qt/test -I. -I. -o test_main.o src/qt/test/test_main.cpp
      src/qt/test/test_main.cpp:1:17: fatal error: QTest: No such file or directory
      compilation terminated.
      make: *** [test_main.o] Error 1
      [/code]

      troubleshooting this one now…

        Run this then try to build again (one line):
        aptitude install bitcoin-qt git qt4-qmake qt4-dev-tools build-essential libssl-dev libdb4.8-dev libdb4.8+±dev libqrencode-dev libboost-all-dev

            hmmm apart from that I’m a bit at a loss. Qtest is a testing framework but I can’t see a package you might be missing.

                    Hi there I’ve built the wallet a couple of times now on Ubuntu, I’ve got it working by doing this from the terminal:
                    [/quote]

                    Whew, thank god I found this post :)

                    Managed to grab my wallet which I’d completely forgotten about off the ssd, and … wow that’s a hassle of a process to install.

                    but worked perfectly, and copied the wallet over and it all seems sorted.

                    Boy I remember ubuntu being a pita, but it’s getting polished… still a pita… my usb hdtv stick simply wont work on boot, I need to unplug-replug it, and trying to work out why… hurgle.

                    But thankfully, I didn’t lose my wallet… I’d cry in ral life if I had done haha.

                    cheers for the writeup mate, saved me a heck of a lot of hassle!!

                    :)

                        I’m still completely new to Ubuntu (12.04), so forgive me if this is a naive question, but I tried following the direction posted here and I got an error on the command:

                        qmake ‘USE_UPNP=-’

                        The error:

                        Project MESSAGE: Building without UPNP support
                        Project MESSAGE: Building with UPNP supportRemoved plural forms as the target language has less forms.
                        If this sounds wrong, possibly the target language is not set or recognized.

                        Any pointers?

                        Once I get the wallet working, I’m going to try mining. I’ve been running CGminer with the Slushpool and I want to see how it does with feathercoin.

                          This is not a Failure, but an informational Message.

                          The parameter “USE_UPNP=-” is required only, if you don’t have miniupnpc libraries instaleld on your system.
                          Nevertheless, the wallet works without UPNP.

                          more important: did the ‘make’ command work after you got the above message from qmake?

                            Great! I am now a feather coiner. Next step, mining.

                            You know, of all the coins, you guys seem to be having the most fun. :)
