Raspberry Pi 3 Install Error

Technical Support
1

I’m trying to load zcash on a Raspberry Pi 3. The Debian install fails at the update and zcash install with the error:

“Failed to fetch https://apt.z.cash/dists/Jessie/Release Unable to find expected entry ‘main/binary-armhf/Packages’ in Release file (wrong sources.list entry or malformed file)”

Does it not load on the Pi or is there a different problem?

Don’t think it was compiled for ARM

I dont believe you can mine on RPi 3. Equihash algorithm relies heavily on RAM.

Do we know if Zcashd will ever be compiled for ARM processors?

6

I’m only entering the install command: sudo apt-get install zcash

Is there a way to correct the capitalization?

OK Thanks. So I asume that I am compiling it on the Raspberry (arm) system. As per the wiki I run:

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

and I get the following:

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

There was also a post from months ago about someone doing some preliminary Equihash testing on their ARM based phone.
