1) Questions and Answers : Unix/Linux : platform \'x86_64-pc-linux-gnu\' not found (Message 25568)

The problem is that 64 bit linux is not an officially supported o/s. Even though the 32 bit client apps will run just fine on it, and 64-bit Linux is becoming more popular, nobody at Berkeley seems interested in making it easy for us, yet.

I\'ve posted a couple of links below that can lead you to a solution, though it involves some work. I went back to a 32-bit version of Kubuntu for other reasons, so it doesn\'t really apply to me any more.

Option 1: download the 32-bit boinc software from boinc.berkeley.edu and edit your existing startup scripts to point to the 32-bit version of the executable. Here is a post outlining how I did it on a Debian-based distribution:

Option 2: Get the source code for the boinc_client, modify it so that it responds to the server with the reply it needs to download the 32-bit client applications. This has been done already, a link can be found at the bottom of this discussion:
http://boinc.bakerlab.org/rosetta/forum_thread.php?id=2549

Option 3: make an app_info file for each client application you want, and specify the 32-bit application request in there. The BSD folks do this, and some have done it for linux-64.

Have you checked with Kubuntu support/FAQ/help forum?


I have checked a bunch of places including Kubuntu\'s wiki/forums, but have yet to see any resolution that doesn\'t involve manually downloading the binary and manually editing the config files. I suspect that the problem has to do with the way that BOINC reports the OS info to the project, and the way the project selects an executable based on that info. I wrote a suggestion on the BIONC forums that would have the BOINC manager trap that error and automatically download the 32 bit app instead.

We\'ll see what happens.

I am wondering: which version of BOINC are you are running in SuSE? Could it be that they changed something in 5.4.9 that is causing this?

\"This project doesn\'t have 64 bit support. You need to run in 32 bit mode.\"

I just \'upgraded\' to the 64 bit boinc client version 5.4.9 under Kubuntu using their repository instead of downloading from Berkley, and now I get the same error as above. CPDN was working fine until I did the \'upgrade,\' which was done so I could use the BAM account manager.

So: How do I tell the 64 bit boinc client that I want to download and run the 32 bit CPDN app?
