Ethereum: CGMiner installation problem on Raspberry Pi

As a miner, you rely on software like CGMiner to extract cryptocurrency from your mining platform. However, when you are trying to install this Raspberry Pi decisive tool working with Raspbian, you meet an error message that looks unclear and disappointing. In this article, we will deepen the reasons for this issue and provide step by step solutions to resolve it.

Error:

The error message usually includes the following text:

`

Configuration: Error: I can’t find CFLAG or LDFLAG

I could not compile CGMiner because of the missing definition of the Linker for “Scrypt”

Found multiple definitions of __Scrypt cryptocurrency

`

This message suggests that either the compiler is unable to find the necessary flags (CFLAGS and LDFLAGS), or there is a problem with connecting to the SCRYPT library.

Why does this error occur:

• Missing CFLAGS or LDFLAGS : The Configure script expects a specific compiler set to be installed on your system. These flags are usually provided by a flag -C when compiling, followed by the desired options. However, some versions of Raspbian may not include these flags in their default installation.

• Missing SCRYPT Library : CGMiner requires the Scrypt library to function properly. This library is usually connected during the compilation process, but its presence or absence can be a problem.

Decisions:

Solution 1: Check and install additional compiler flags

On Raspbian you can add additional compiler flags using the following commands:

`bash

SUDO APT update

sudo apt install -Y Build -sential Libssl-Dev Libz-Dev

Once you execute these commands, try to start the Configure script again:

`

./configure –CFLAGS = -L/PATH/TO/CRYPTOCURRENCY/LIBSCRYPT -LCRYPTOCURRENCY

`

Replace /pat/to/cryptocurrency/libscrypt with the actual path to your Scrypt library in your system.

Solution 2: Update CGMiner

The latest version of CGMiner includes updated construction and adjustments instructions. You can update it using:

`bash

SUDO APT update

sudo apt install -y cgminer

This must include all the necessary flags or dependencies required for the proper functioning of the miner.

troubleshooting:

To further troubleshoot you can try the following steps:

• Check your Raspbian installation and check that the Scrypt library is really connected during compilation.

• Make sure that the flags of your system compiler are adjusted correctly.

• If you use a different version of CGMiner, make sure it is compatible with the architecture of your system.

Conclusion:

Installing a Raspberry PI CGMiner can be a direct process when you turn to the potential problems outlined in this article. Following these steps and tips for troubleshooting, you should be able to resolve the configuration error and successfully install CGMiner for your cryptocurrency needs. Happy yield!
