If automatic authentification on BOINC GUI (i.e. Manager) startup doesn’t work, check that gui_rpc_auth.cfg in BOINC’s home directory is readable by the user who’s ID starts the GUI. That’s /var/db/boinc/gui_rpc_auth.cfg on my system, for example.
It was developed and tested under FreeBSD. Then I had to compile and build it under Windows. First I tried Cygwin and failed due to some defenitions missing in Cygwin’s libraries. Or my installed libraries. Heck, it was so many error lines ago, I can’t even remember what it was. Then I tried Dev-C++. I [...]
Yes, that’s true. It’s working. Half-assedly, but it does. It’s not of much interest from outside of my circle, since it does no useful work. It’s a course project of mine, which is due next Tuesday. The paper isn’t started yet, alhough I did take 25 KB of plaintext UTF-8 notes. Anyway, there’s a lot [...]
The first one is working OK, except for there is no graphics. But the WU are being submitted, validated and accepted. Now, Rosetta@Home seems to have a bug o some sort, which makes the client detach every time Rosetta gets a work unit. Maybe you need to suspend all other work units first. I’ll try [...]
It is required by many applications dependent on wxWidgets to determine which version exactly (wxgtk24, wxgtk26, wxgtk28…) is being used. It also allows specifiying diretly which version to use. To be precise, wx-config is a wrapper/redirect to the real wx*-config script. So check if you have that: %ll /usr/local/bin/wx* -r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 42259 Apr [...]
Both exit with: <core_client_version>5.10.32</core_client_version> <![CDATA[ <message> process exited with code 8 (0x8, -248) </message> <stderr_txt> execv: Exec format error </stderr_txt> ]]> Which is quite a common error, by the way, for emulation-run Linux projects.
It’s a GL Utility static library that’s not provided neither by the freeglut, nor the libglut ports. Yet it’s required to build boinc_example and other boinc-related graphics. One possible solution is using MesaGL. (It’s available in packages on Linuxes, by the way.) Download MesaLib from SourceForge. Extract to your favourite source directory. From here, compiling [...]

uFluids doesn’t send to my platform. Quantum Monte Carlo does. And I’ve decided to give Rosetta@Home one more shot. Reason? Oh, the reason is great news. As I’ve written before, some projects somehow take up 100% of processor time, even though the settings unambiguously specify 50%. The reason for this, as I have accidentally found [...]
If you’re using BSD, you can go here and ask that more projects be supported natively on BSDs.

I got so frustrated at trying to find a project that supports FreeBSD that I switched to WINE emulation. Let’s see how it turns out. I mean, Leiden Classical doesn’t work, Most Linux projects that do run consume 100% of processor time, and SETI@Home faults with a SIGSEV. Which is a sad thing, because there’s [...]
