Trying to get Linux ecm to run(totall noob) - Page 5

Isn't Linux cool!

One last thing:

Code:

dd if=/dev/zero of=/swapfile bs=1024 count=10485760
/sbin/mkswap /swapfile
/sbin/swapon /swapfile
cd /home/jasong/ecmnet3/ecmnet/client
./ecmclient

If I make the above a Linux batch file, will it automatically make things work properly? Also, I want it to run when the computer boots up and some of this stuff needs to be root(or SuperUser for the Fedora Project). How can I do that? Can I just enter "su" on the first line and my password on the second, and put it in a certain directory?

Edit: Sorry, I should've mentioned it's working absolutely perfectly.

To get the swapfile to start automatically, you need to edit /etc/fstab.

Here is mine. My swap file is /swap

Code:

mv@etch:~$ cat /etc/fstab
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
/dev/hda1 / ext3 defaults,errors=remount-ro 0 1
/swap swap swap defaults 0 0

Looking at your dirfile.txt, I note that you have combined the compilation directories for the ecm file and the ecmclient file. It's just possible this could be causing your subsequent Segmentation fault. The way I've always done it is to use separate directories for compiling the ecm and ecmclient files. If you're prepared to have another go from scratch (it should be easier/quicker this time given what you've already learnt :-) ) here's my system:
1) create a 'gmp-ecm' directory
2) create a 'ecmnet3' directory at the same level
3) put ecm-6.0.1.tar.gz in gmp-ecm directory
4) put ecmnet.zip in ecmnet3 directory
5) change to gmp-ecm directory and tar -zxvf ecm-6.0.1.tar.gz to uncompress
6) change to ecmnet3 directory and unzip ecmnet.zip to uncompress
7) change to gmp-ecm/ecm-6.0.1 directory and run ./configure, make, make check, as you now know how to :-)
8) change to ecmnet3/ecmnet/source directory and run make to generate ecmclient file
9) copy ecm file from gmp-ecm/ecm-6.0.1 to ecmnet3/ecmnet/client directory
10) copy ecmclient file from ecmnet3/ecmnet/source to ecmnet3/ecmnet/client directory
11) change to ecmnet3/ecmnet/client directory and edit ecmclient.cfg to point to relevant server etc. as others have shown you/similar to in Windows [make sure you refer to the ecm executable as ./ecm, rather than just ecm]
12) from within the ecmnet3/ecmnet/client directory run ./ecmclient

That should do it - I understand you've connected OK from Windows, so you'll know what messages to expect if succcessful.
The beauty of this system (as you'll see from _my_ attached relevant dirfile) is that it enables you (if desired) to compile multiple different versions of gmp-ecm and easily choose/swap between them.

Attachment 1043

It is now 9.5 months later. The Linux computer I was being helped with worked for about 3 months and then quit working. since all I used it for was DC, I am still a noob.

I tried the above instructions on my new Linux computer, when I got to ./configure it printed out some stuff and the last three lines were:

Code:

checking for C compiler default output file name... configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables
See 'config log' for more details.

I have no idea where config.log is, so can't post it.

The config.log is in the same folder as the configure script. It appears, from what little is posted here, that GMP cannot find the C compiler. Is it installed?

jasong · 2006-12-07, 01:30

Here is what is in config.log:

Code:

This file contains any messages produced by compilers while
running configure, to aid debugging if configure makes a mistake.

It was created by ecm configure 6.0.1, which was
generated by GNU Autoconf 2.59.  Invocation command line was

Do you have "binutils" installed?

version 2.17-ubuntu1, although it's possible I installed it at some point after the log was made. I'll try ./configure again, just for the heck of it. (Nope, same error)

Remember, guys, I'm a noob, so the error could be something totally obvious.

paulunderwood · 2006-12-08, 02:52

Next: Do you have "libc6-dev" installed?

Xyzzy · 2006-12-08, 05:08

apt-get install build-essential

After following the following isntructions(months later now, on a different machine) I got to the 7th instruction and, well, the result is at the bottom of the message. Could the files have been altered in the interim?
