I wrote up a basic guide on how to compile Bitcoin on Ubuntu. I hope it proves useful to anyone still having issues compiling the graphical client.

An excellent guide. Thank you so much for your efforts - it will certainly help me 😊

That’s a really well written walkthough.  Someone should confirm if they followed it and didn’t run into any snags.

Working from a clean install of Ubuntu 10.04 64:

Testing your guide 😊

The line: sudo apt-get install build-essential libgtk2.0-dev libssl-dev libdb4.7-dev libdb4.7++-dev libboost-all-dev checkinstall svn git Returns the error: E: Couldn’t find package svn

Oops, I forgot that the package is actually named subversion. I’ll update the post now.
