When building bitcoind on LinuxCoin (Debian based), I receive this error
"headers.h:36:20: fatal error: db_cxx.h: No such file or directory"
following the instructions at https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/doc/build-unix.txt
I believe the error is caused by the package "libdb4.8++-dev" being non-existant for the distro, as when attempting to "apt-get install" that, I get:
Package libdb4.8++-dev is not available, but is referred to by another package. This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source
E: Package 'libdb4.8++-dev' has no installation candidate
NOTE: libdb4.8-dev and all other dependencies are already installed.
It's probably a silly mistake on my part but any help is appreciated! Thanks.
