I followed the installation guide on Bitmessage wiki.

https://bitmessage.org/wiki/Compiling_instructions

I typed this command in Terminal

git clone https://github.com/Bitmessage/PyBitmessage

But I got this error. Somehow the computer failed to install Bitmessage.

---------------------
Cloning into 'PyBitmessage'...
git-remote-https: relocation error: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgnutls.so.26: symbol gcry_cipher_setkey, version GCRYPT_1.2 not defined in file libgcrypt.so.11 with link time reference
----------------------

I have libgcrypt11 installed in Synaptic Package Manager. Its version is 1.5.0-3ubuntu0.2. I believe git is working fine.

Can anybody please help me?

First make sure that you have all the dependencies by typing this command in the terminal:

sudo apt-get install python openssl git python-qt4

Now, type this command all on one line:

git clone https://github.com/Bitmessage/PyBitmessage ~/PyBitmessage

(~/ is shorthand for your home folder)

Run it by entering this command:

~/PyBitmessage/src/bitmessagemain.py

May I see the output from the terminal? Select the text in the terminal, press Control+Shift+C, then paste it at http://trisquel.pastebay.com, with the normal paste function. (Ctrl-v)

What should I do next? How do I 'set up my remote head again'?

Bitmessage runs like a charm for me on Trisquel.

I have a 32-bit Operating System, but gnuplanetearth apparently has a 64-bit OS. I wonder if that would make any difference.

@ssdclickofdeath: I don't think so as I'm also running a 64 bit system without any problems.

I have reinstalled Trisquel and downloaded Bitmessage again. Everything is working fine now.

You can test it out by sending me a message. :-)

It's good to hear that it is working now.
