Is there any way to find out what the missing shared libraries are? It would help to know.
It probably needs the gtk libraries, in which case you’ll have the same problem with the 64-bit version. I would like to have a single executable that can also run on a UI-less system, but I’m not sure how on linux to link to things but still be able to run and not use them if the library is not present. Maybe we should statically link the GTK. Licensewise, it’s LGPL, but since it’s only used on unix, that would be OK. (we can’t link LGPL stuff on windows because we provide the OpenSSL DLL, but on linux OpenSSL comes with the OS)
My 64-bit (debug stripped) executable is attached. It includes untested changes that are not in SVN yet: UI changes and the wallet fSpent flag resync stuff.
I’ve been researching options for interprocess calling. I want something that will be easy for a variety of server side languages to call, particularly PHP. Cross-platform to windows is a plus.
I’m not sure if I want it to be something that can be accessed across the network. That would introduce security issues. If it can only be accessed on the local system, then local security authentication covers it, and it is incapable of being hacked remotely.
At surface level, not looking into any details yet, the current front runners are: D-Bus: local system only used by qt, gnome and skype bindings: c, python, java, c++, php listed as “in progress” .net listed as unmaintained not sure how ready it is on windows XML-RPC: widely used, built in libraries on PHP it’s more for web clients to talk to server, transport is http, so its a security question
Is it possible to open a socket that can only be accessed locally?

Have you decided upon the inter-process calling method of the Bitcoin API yet? An easy solution would be the socket interface provided by wxWidgets: http://docs.wxwidgets.org/trunk/overview_ipc.html. The Bitcoin program running a wxServer could be then accessed by calling the bitcoin executable from the command line or by coding your own wxClient app.
Another option would be to just use the plain BSD sockets.
Can you send me a 64-bit Linux binary of Bitcoin if you have one? I tried compiling on the VPS, but it ran out of memory. Tried the 32-bit version (with ia32-libs) also, but it didn’t find the shared libraries.
