Installation Help?

I’m at the “install wallet” phase from the instructions on Github.

I’m installing on Linux (Debian) and get this error:Compiling nockapp-grpc-proto v0.1.0 (/home/scorpio/nockchain/crates/nockapp-grpc-proto)
error: failed to run custom build command for nockapp-grpc-proto v0.1.0 (/home/scorpio/nockchain/crates/nockapp-grpc-proto)

I use Mint like a pleb so I have no idea what the deal is.

Pls halp.

The proto3 optional feature became standard in protoc 3.15+. You likely have an older version.

Check your version:

protoc --version

If it’s below 3.15, update it.

Updated.

The root cause here is Linux limits on file name lengths. The deeply nested dependency chain (nockchain → libp2p_memory_connection_limits → more nesting) creates extremely long intermediate filenames.

For a local fix, you may have to rename the Cargo build directory:

```
# Set a short target path
export CARGO_TARGET_DIR=/tmp/nc-build
# Build with the shorter path
make install-nockchain
```

Ok, now it’s saying that the mining key is invalid.

I think the issue is that I got a v0 key and it’s looking for a v1 key (right?)

If so, how do I fix this. If not, what’s the issue?

I ran command “nockchain-wallet list-active-addresses” and it likewise gave me a v0 key.

Super appreciate your patience.

Easiest solution is to generate a new key pair with nockchain-wallet keygen and use that one. (Keep ahold of the old v0 secrets inasmuch as you used them for anything, of course.)

It just generated another v0

Are you on the latest wallet?
