Gavin, The directory within the tarball "bitcoin-0.5.0-linux.tar.gz" is "bitcoin-0.5.0rc7-linux", I guess it should be named just "bitcoin-0.5.0-linux", right!?
BTW, I got some errors here, like: ---------- administrativo@maggie:~$ ./bitcoin-0.5.0rc7-linux/bin/32/bitcoin-qt (bitcoin-qt:2529): Gtk-WARNING **: Não foi possível localizar a ferramenta de temas no module_path: "pixmap", (bitcoin-qt:2529): Gtk-WARNING **: Não foi possível localizar a ferramenta de temas no module_path: "pixmap", (bitcoin-qt:2529): Gtk-WARNING **: Não foi possível localizar a ferramenta de temas no module_path: "pixmap", (bitcoin-qt:2529): Gtk-WARNING **: Não foi possível localizar a ferramenta de temas no module_path: "pixmap", ************************** *EXCEPTION: NSt8ios_base7failureE * *CAutoFile::read : end of file * *bitcoin in Runaway exception * * * *terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::ios_base::failure'* * what(): CAutoFile::read : end of file* *Aborted* *----------* So, I need to remove my .bitcoin directory to fix this... :-/ Best, Thiago On 21 November 2011 21:57, Gavin Andresen <gavinandre...@gmail.com> wrote: > Bitcoin version 0.5.0 is now available for download at: > http://sourceforge.net/projects/bitcoin/files/Bitcoin/bitcoin-0.5.0/ > The major change for this release is a completely new > graphicalinterface that uses the Qt user interface toolkit. > This release include German, Spanish, Spanish-Castilian, Norwegianand > Dutch translations.
