== Install ==

=== Source ===
Dependencies:
yum install libudev-devel

Build:
wget http://ck.kolivas.org/apps/cgminer/4.5/cgminer-4.5.0.tar.bz2
tar -jvxf cgminer-4.5.0.tar.bz2
cd cgminer-4.5.0
#./configure --enable-icarus --enable-ants2
./configure --enable-icarus --enable-ants2 --prefix=/opt/cgminer
make clean && make
sudo make install

Run (from build):
./cgminer --config ~/conf/bitcoin.conf

Run (from install):
/opt/cgminer/bin/cgminer --config ~/conf/bitcoin.conf

=== Binary ===

wget http://ck.kolivas.org/apps/cgminer/cgminer-4.5.0-x86_64-built.tar.bz2
tar -jvxf cgminer-4.5.0-x86_64-built.tar.bz2
cd cgminer-4.5.0-x86_64-built

./cgminer --config ~/conf/bitcoin.conf

Error when I tried to run it on CentOS 6:
./cgminer: error while loading shared libraries: libudev.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
