Ubuntu

config VirtaCoin (libdb_cxx headers missing)

Asked by Edward Benson

dear ubuntu:

  I am on 13.10 update to 14.04
but when I do configure, still meet the same error these guy meet, and I follow its suggestion to do
install libdb4.8++-dev
-----not work on my system/try------------
package libdb4.8++-dev is not available but is refered by another package
this may mean that the package is missing, has been obsolete or
is only available from another source

E: Package "libdb4.8++-dev" has no instalation candidate
-------------------------
please help, Eric

@akstunt .. I had the same issue on Ubuntu 12.04:

checking for Berkeley DB C++ headers... no
configure: error: libdb_cxx headers missing

Here's how I fixed it:

sudo apt-get install libdb4.8++-dev

Then just run the ./configure again.
