Years ago I used to mine with antiminers, left it, and back to it now.
I have decided to mine LTC, just to give it a shot, and I got myself the gridseed miner, AKA GC3355.
I had a hard time to set it up, I missed the antminers plug&play aspect but oh well. I like IT challenges.
This is my current status/config:
physical dell vostro 1015 with debian jessie with mate desktop
i have followed mainly this guide:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic ... msg5448813 (Part 5A.1: Linux)
set up cpuminer. I got up to the point of "CFLAGS="-O2 -Wall -march=native" ./configure"
Theres the output:

and make is also fine.
following the next instructions:
Build cgminer:
Code:
but there is not autogen.shcd ~/usb-miner/software/cgminer
./autogen.sh
CFLAGS="-O2 -Wall -march=native" ./configure --enable-gridseed
make
cd

And the next step is where is fails:

I have seen many google results about this, installed about 4 different curl and curl dev packages, but I always end up with that error message.
So obviously i dont get past that.
Yet the miner works. Somewhat. with minerd I am able to login, see real time activity, even from time to time accept a share, but it always ends up not hashing!!!!

I dont think its a pool issue, I tried with two different ones.
Any help will be more than welcome
