Yeah, acutely aware that I should have stayed on 9.04 or 9.10. It’s a lot more work to downgrade than upgrade and I’ve been squeezed for time. Ubuntu is the most popular distro, so I’m staying with that.
Fair enough. I’ve not found any version of bitcoin that works with any enterprise version of Linux I have found. Often enterprise linux uses older tried and trusted versions several years old. This has parity with the LTS series of Ubuntu.
I think you’d be better doing your distribution with http://releases.ubuntu.com/hardy/ (8.04.4 LTS Hardy Heron). If you really must use Ubuntu. This being the PREVIOUS release of their LTS series, once 10.4 LTS passes the 18months old test consider a release engineering rebase.
Maybe you can setup a 2Gb “8.04.4 LTS” disk image using VirtualBox or Xen (just for rolling releases) and keep whatever version you want for desktop/development use.
