When I start boinc for climateprediction.net, everything looks (from boincmgr) like it's working. It shows a process running, but not taking any cpu. ps wax shows:<br>
10591 pts/1 ZN 0:00 [sulphur_um_4.21] &lt; defunct &gt;
<br>Is this a glibc or libstdc++ incompatibility? I'm running a mostly stock Slackware 10.1 (glibc 2.3.4 and libstdc++ 5.0.6)

Hi,
Well, frankly, I don't know.

Usually when the model needs a lib but don't find it, it throws the following message (in command-line):

"error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory" and the model stops sending a error message in Boinc.

For the spinup job, up-to-date libstdc++ libs are required:
On my Suse 9.2 machine: libstdc++5.0.7 and libstdc++6.0.5

I would suggest you run boinc in command line, to see if it sends a error message that could help define your problem.
Perhaps you can "$ top" to see if no other programs is using the CPU power.

Well, I'm still getting a zombie on sulphur_um_4.21_i686-pc-linux-gnu.<br><br>
ldd sulphur_um_4.21_i686-pc-linux-gnu<br>
libm.so.6 =&gt; /lib/libm.so.6 (0x4002e000)<br>
libpthread.so.0 =&gt; /lib/libpthread.so.0 (0x40051000)<br>
libc.so.6 =&gt; /lib/libc.so.6 (0x400a4000)<br>
/lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x40000000)<br><br>
The only thing I can think is that maybe the use of pthreads on a 2.4 kernel might cause problems. But until the 2.6 kernel is stable enough to be included in Slackware, it's not stable enough for me. Any suggestions?

There is a message from Carl in the other forum about him using the latest libs from a debian install, and I guess things aren't staticly linked anymore.
