      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:

      [code]
      sudo apt-add-repository ppa:bitcoin/bitcoin
      sudo apt-get update
      sudo apt-get install bitcoin-qt
      sudo apt-get install git
      sudo apt-get install qt4-qmake
      sudo apt-get install qt4-dev-tools
      sudo apt-get install build-essential
      sudo apt-get install libssl-dev
      sudo apt-get install libdb4.8-dev
      sudo apt-get install libdb4.8+±dev
      sudo apt-get install libqrencode-dev
      sudo apt-get install libboost-all-dev
      git clone https://github.com/FeatherCoin/FeatherCoin.git
      cd FeatherCoin
      qmake ‘USE_UPNP=-’
      make
      chown yourusername feathercoin-qt
      mv feathercoin-qt ~/feathercoin-qt
      cd ~/
      mkdir .feathercoin
      nano ~/.feathercoin/feathercoin.conf
      #### Put the below into your feathercoin.conf ####
      server=1
      daemon=1
      gen=0
      rpcuser=feathercoin
      rpcpassword=feathercoinpasswordherekittens
      rpcport=9337
      port=9336
      #### End ####
      ((Press ‘ctrl + x’, then ‘y’, then press the ‘enter key’ to save))
      [/code]

      You should be able to simply launch feathercoin-qt from your home directory by simply double clicking it, or if you prefer to launch it from the terminal just type “./feathercoin-qt”

      Installing bitcoin-qt ensures that the required qt files required to build any feathercoin-qt, litecoin-qt, etc, wallet successfully, at least for me. ^^

      Hope this helps

      Side note, if you insist on running the GUI/(qt) from a terminal I suggest you install screen and run it in a screen. As soon as you close your terminal you will close feathercoin-qt.
      To do this simply do:

      [code]
      sudo apt-get install screen
      screen -S feathercoin-qt
      ./feathercoin-qt

      #Now press ctrl + a, then d to close the screen but keep the terminal session running#
      #If you want to reconnect to this terminal simply write:#

      screen -x feathercoin

      #From a/any terminal running on your machine#
      #If you want to create more screens for other apps and terminal instance simply use screen -S screename#
      #To find a list of current running screens just type:#

      screen -ls

      #From a/any terminal running on your machine#
      [/code]

      Someone is bound to chew me out for my usages of screen. But, it’s simple and does the job using -S, -x and -ls xD

          Seems like there’s a qt issues there still, usually installing the bitcoin-qt pulls down a few more of the files required to run it. Have you tried updating, removing, reinstalling qt packages?

          As a shot in the dark you could try installing the developers package:
          [code]
          sudo apt-get install qt4-dev-tools
          [/code]

            qt4-dev-tools is installed. I have no problems building bitcoin or litecoin from source on the same machine.

              Then unfortunately I’m pretty much out of ideas bar one… You could try recloning the source, but other than that it’s an issue specific to your build/setup as opposed to the Feathercoin-qt files.

              Here’s my feathercoin-qt, built on Ubuntu 11.10 :
              http://puu.sh/2VfUb/feathercoin-qt.zip
              Drop that into your ~/ directory and double click to run it (or run ~/.feathercoin-qt)

              I’ll start making a 13.x virtual machine and see if I encounter the same issues.

              Edit, may need to take ownership of it “chown username feathercoin-qt”

              Edit2, Installing now.

                  It’s either something specific you have installed (or don’t have installed) or 13.04 itself. I’ll have a VM up soon and I’ll poke around and see what’s what, I can’t see (nor understand) why you’re getting that issue. x:

                  Edit: Et voila, built perfectly on 13.04 with no issues what so ever… Which now means your problem is beyond my understanding and help… Sorry I’ve not been able to solve it for you, if possible I’d recommend a fresh install of 13.04 x:

                    Can you do a couple of things for me please so we can troubleshoot this?

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

                    As for the core dump, can you see if there is a file called “core” or one starting with core in the directory you were doing this or in the home dir of your user?

                    Did you get it to build without an error yet?

                      I am running a fresh install of 13.04.
                      Please tell me exactly what steps you took to build, as I am a at a loss of what could be causing it.

                        As for core dump that was when I tried running the file built by the other commenter on this thread. I did not get the source to compile yet.

                          p libqrencode-dev

                          Means not installed…

                          Do this as root:
                          aptitude install libqrencode-dev

                          Then try to build again :)

                                  sudo aptitude install libdb-dev libdb+±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!!

                                          :)
