Trouble installing libbitcoin-system library

344 Views Asked by At

I´m trying to follow along the book from Andreas Antonopolus (Mastering bitcoin) and I would want to do everything in the book, so Im stuck with this:

trying to install the bitcoin explorer command line tool, I realized that I needed to install the libbitcoin-client library which then made me realize I had to had installed the libbitcoin-protocol library which then made me realize that I had to had installed the libbitcoin-system library , which then requires Boost ( some c++ libraries ) and the libbitcoin/secp256k1 library as well … long story short … I´m stuck at installing the libbitcoin-system library, because when I type the following command:

cloud76@system76:~/libbitcoin-system$ ./configure --with-boost=/usr/local/boost_1_77_0 --with-boost-libdir=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/

after a long list of everything is OK, I get this one:

configure: error: libsecp256k1 >= 0.1.0.19 is required but was not found.

Can anyone help me try to find out how do I tell the configure command to find the secp256k1 library?? I´m running everything from an ubuntu pc … Im sure I installed the secp256k1 library correctly using autotools … but I´m stuck with this …
