user12835: I'm trying to install the current version of namecoin from github.
After much trouble and poking around, I found the official install instructions here:https://github.com/namecoin/wiki/wiki/Build-Namecoin-From-Source
Instructions are:
git clone https://github.com/namecoin/namecoin.git
cd namecoin/src
make -f makefile.unix namecoind

Only problem, there is no makefile.unix, only MakeFile and makefile.mingw
Anyone get through something like this?

user11253: The Makefile in that directory appears to be a perfectly good makefile. Perhaps the build instructions are out of date. So try:
make namecoind

(without the -f option, the make program automatically reads the file named Makefile).
