bitcoin-qt is working fine on my machine.

To find how why it is not working on your computer, you need to start it in a terminal.

Open a terminal and run this command

Code: Select all

bitcoin-qt

You are most likey missing a QT dependency, note I'm running KDE. The default Mint install has GTK+ libraries as it is based on Gnome.

sudo apt-get install libqtgui4

$ bin/32/bitcoin-qt

These are the libraries needed to build bitcoin-qt

Code: Select all

apt install qt4-qmake libqt4-dev build-essential libboost-dev libboost-system-dev  libboost-filesystem-dev libboost-program-options-dev libboost-thread-dev libssl-dev libdb4.8++-dev

You probably only need libqt4-dev to run bitcoin but if you still get errors try installing the others.

Database error??

https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/809

This is a Berkeley DB version mismatch between the last and current version of bitcoin.

Recovery is:
make sure bitcoin is not running
cd into your .bitcoin directory
rm -rf db* database* .lock *.pid

did not worked so well too, but on Backtrack 5 and Ubuntu Bitcoin-qt running without any issues.
solved temporarely by installing winxp on VirtulaBox

tried to compile from sourse after installing all libs, no success.
