Mining error: unlinkable_block_exception: unlinkable block block does not link to known chain

I am trying to set up a steem miner on Ubuntu 14 using latest code from https://github.com/steemit/steem. I've followed the following references:

However, I am only seeing the following on the console. Can someone provide pointers as to what I am missing?

Like @bobo012 said, you may be on the wrong fork.
Try to add a checkpoint in the config.ini file and see if it get resolved.

# Pairs of [BLOCK_NUM,BLOCK_ID] that should be enforced as checkpoints.
 checkpoint = [2931839 , "002cbc7f53cd19156412ac078ae8879114d92526"]

or download this blockchain, and the checkpoint is included.

@alphabeta: Thanks. I had already tried downloading the blockchain and that didn't help.
After using checkpoint along with the blockchain, I saw two messages that said Got a block but the same problem continued thereafter. :(
