I have used boinc software with older versions of mandriva without problems. I now get the following message. Is there a way to tell the boinc software something different, possible renaming something in /etc?

The error message reminds me of this sort of init-script to start boinc (/etc/init.d/boinc): it is looking for boinc manager with a certain name.

The issue is (if my assumption that the error comes from the script is right) that your boinc-manager has a different name than the /etc/init.d/boinc script is looking for.

Go to yr boinc directory and try to start boinc manually -- don't forget that you may need to logon as the user all the boinc software is installed under.

There is a thread 2 posts before this one, with a similar title and about the same problem.

Grrrr. Stupid Mandriva packagers.

They're compiling it wrong. So the server is saying "Hey, I don't have a app for that platform. Now if you were asking for i686-pc-linux-gnu, we'd be all set."

Here's what I'd do if I were you. I'd run down all the work on your machine, if there is any. Uninstall BOINC using the package manager. Grab BOINC from here. Follow the instructions here to install.

And if you really want to help, file a bug against the package. Point the packager to this Wiki page and tell them to make note of the configure command.


I believe there are other ways around this (using the anonymous platform method) but that seems like a pain to me.

I CAN NOT believe this problem STILL exists... somebody handed me a Mandriva machine (2010) and I was installing BOINC for them... after getting around the gui_rpc_auth.cfg problem where the manager will not attach to the client I\'d hoped I was done... attach any project... and I get this crap... 7 months later. They need to take a look at the Debian package. It just works.
