Installing Zcash on an Ububtu single board computer

Technical Support

Hi.
I am trying to install Zcash on a Rock64 single board computer. The installation is failing with an error failing to find the GCC library.
Did anyone else try, or succeed in installing Zcash on this configuration, or another single board computer?

Thanks
Ilan

First off before we get into anything, welcome to the community :slight_smile:
If GCC lib cannot be located, maybe check you’ve got all deps covered from Home · zcash/zcash Wiki · GitHub.
If that fails, post the stdout error response and we’ll see what we can do to resolve this.

Hi, Anon
Sorry it took me so long to get back to this. I am back, trying to solve this issue. This is what I am getting when I try to download Zcash on my Rock64 board. This si the command mentioned on https://minezcash.com/how-to-mine-zcash-part-3/:
sudo apt-get install
build-essential pkg-config libc6-dev m4 g+±multilib
autoconf libtool ncurses-dev unzip git python
zlib1g-dev wget bsdmainutils automake
This is the error I am getting: Reading package lists… Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information… Done
Note, selecting ‘libncurses5-dev’ instead of ‘ncurses-dev’
E: Unable to locate package g+±multilib
E: Couldn’t find any package by regex ‘g+±multilib’

I think that the system is looking for an Intel architecture, and the Rock64 is an Aarch architecture.
I tried to check the git you mentioned, but even the first command gets an error. When I type in: git fetch origin
git checkout v1.0.14
./zcutil/fetch-params.sh
./zcutil/build.sh --disable-rust -j$(nproc)

I am getting this: git fetch origin
fatal: Not a git repository (or any of the parent directories): .git
rock64@rock64b:~ git checkout v1.0.14 fatal: Not a git repository (or any of the parent directories): .git rock64@rock64b:~ ./zcutil/fetch-params.sh
-bash: ./zcutil/fetch-params.sh: No such file or directory
rock64@rock64b:~ ./zcutil/build.sh --disable-rust -j(nproc)

Any help is appreciated.
Thank you
Ilan

Hi.
I was able to install Zcash on teh machine. But when I ran the command:
sudo apt-get install \

build-essential pkg-config libc6-dev m4 g++-multilib \
autoconf libtool ncurses-dev unzip git python \
zlib1g-dev wget bsdmainutils automake

Reading package lists… Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information… Done
Note, selecting ‘libncurses5-dev’ instead of ‘ncurses-dev’
E: Unable to locate package g+±multilib
E: Couldn’t find any package by regex ‘g+±multilib’

I got the following error:
sudo apt-get install \

build-essential pkg-config libc6-dev m4 g++-multilib \
autoconf libtool ncurses-dev unzip git python \
zlib1g-dev wget bsdmainutils automake

Reading package lists… Done
Building dependency tree

Note, selecting ‘libncurses5-dev’ instead of ‘ncurses-dev’
E: Unable to locate package g+±multilib
E: Couldn’t find any package by regex ‘g+±multilib’

So the g++ library is missing from this architecture. I also saw a comment on the git that only i386 architecture is supported. Can I even do it on this machine?
Thanks
