Problem running make geth

[c-georgen]

I know it's not officially supported, but I'm trying to run ethereum on my Fedora 22 machine and I'm running into an issue when I attempt to make geth.

I have all the necessary dependencies that I can think of: automake, gmp, gcc, git, go, kernel-devel, libtool, and Development Tools are enabled.

I have also followed the suggestion mentioned in #934 and manually built secp256k1 successfully.

However, when I run make geth, I get an output ending in

Makefile:9: recipe for target 'geth' failed
make: *** [geth] Error 2

If anyone has any suggestions I would really appreciate them.

Thanks

Could you please paste the entire build log?

Here is the entire build log from geth make

Makefile:9: recipe for target 'geth' failed
make: *** [geth] Error 2

[karalabe]

The build logs suggest make cannot find gmp.h. Are you sure you installed the development packages too? Usually they are in a separate package than the library itself.

[fjl]

Sorry, didn't mean to close.

[obscuren]

Make sure you've got gmp installed. brew install gmp or sudo apt-get install libgmp

[prusnak]

There is another issue except missing gmp development files:

crypto/ecies/asn1.go:96: undefined: elliptic.P224
crypto/ecies/asn1.go:124: undefined: elliptic.P224
crypto/ecies/asn1.go:137: undefined: elliptic.P224
crypto/ecies/asn1.go:251: undefined: elliptic.P224

Fedora/RedHat distros comply with US patent law and remove elliptic curve crypto from their packages.

See these issues for reference:
coreos/etcd-ca#22
gogs/gogs#524

Removing all references to elliptic.P224 from files crypto/ecies/asn1.go and crypto/ecies/ecies_test.go fixes the issue.

[obscuren]

Instead of using the standard packages I'd just download the official golang package from the website

[prusnak]

Created #1551

[obscuren]

#1551 has been merged. Please note it won't show up in the 1.0.0 release. Please use develop or wait for 1.0.1 stable

[c-georgen]

As a note to anyone else having this problem, the solution provide by prusnak:

"Removing all references to elliptic.P224 from files crypto/ecies/asn1.go and crypto/ecies/ecies_test.go fixes the issue"

fixes the problem, even with the fedora go packages.
