Posted 28 Sep 2005 by old_user28007 Post: The Open Uni downlaod page bears the following statement: \"If you are a Mac or Linux user, we are almost ready to launch a client for you. If you would like to help us test it, please sign up here\" Can anybody tell me when this is going to happen? If I click \"here\" and fill out the form, I receive the following deadend message: Warning: mysql_connect(): Can\'t connect to local MySQL server through socket \'/tmp/mysql.sock\' (2) in /var/www/html/insecure/user/postbeta.php on line 6 Could not connect : Can\'t connect to local MySQL server through socket \'/tmp/mysql.sock\' (2) I\'d like to get the model running and would appreciate any help that can be offered. Thanks in advance Andrew |

Posted 18 Sep 2005 by old_user28007 Post: Thanks Tolu I have done that and let it run for a while (had to wait for a SETI project to conclude - hence the delay in responding to you), but it again gives me the Computational error message. Any ideas? What\'s the next step? I\'m attempting the OU course, so if I don\'t get this running soon, I may have to pull out of that. Andrew Yes, try reattaching to the project. |

Posted 16 Sep 2005 by old_user28007 Post: Thank you Tolu I\'ve done that and reset the project, but it seems to be at a stand still. The last message says \"schedule_cups: must schedule\". Sorry to seem really dense, but I am not familiar with the jargon: where do I find the contents of the stdout and stderr file? Is this the messages in the Boinc client? If so, how do I paste them to a reply like this - the usual paste commands do nothing in this reply box. Rather than reset, should I detach and then attach the projects again? Andrew |

Posted 14 Sep 2005 by old_user28007 Post: I followed the instructions given by Clay (THANKS! Clay) at: http://climateapps2.oucs.ox.ac.uk/cpdnboinc/forum_thread.php?id=2635 and thought I had success as CP started to run. Repeatedly it ceases with the message \"computation error\" after various percentages of progress. Can anybody help me get this running before I give up entirely and go back running SETI on it\'s own - at least that works seamlessly with my computer and any functions I carry out on it. :-( I\'ve been backfard and forward through the forum looking ofr similar situations and the fixes I have found seem good; only, they work only part of the way. I\'m using an Power Macintosh G4 1GHz with OS X 10.4.2, recently updated, permissions verified, with Boinc 4.43; running 24/7 and occassionally disconnected from Broadband. ANY help and assistance would be greatly appreciated. Andrew |

Posted 11 Sep 2005 by old_user28007 Post: Lana I found another message on this forum with instructions that work! I seem to be up and running after following them carefully. They appear in a message with solution written by Clay (THANKS! Clay) at: http://climateapps2.oucs.ox.ac.uk/cpdnboinc/forum_thread.php?id=2635 I copy the solution here to save time going to that message and to increase the chance of others finding the solution: Clay Joined: Mar 1, 2005 Posts: 2 ID: 59201 Credit: 37,523 RAC: 1,179 Message 12976 - Posted 31 May 2005 15:58:55 UTC Last modified: 31 May 2005 15:59:45 UTC As to Climate not running: the current setup is looking for a few library files with an erroneous path. To make climate run, I simply put these files where the model expects them. - Create a folder name \"opt\" on the top level of your boot drive. In it create a folder named \"ibmcmp\" and in that folder create one named \"lib\". - Copy the following three files: \"libxlsmp.A.dylib\" \"libxlfmath.A.dylib\" and \"libxlf90.A.dylib\" into the \"lib\" folder. You will find these files in /Library/Application Support/Boinc Data/projects/climateprediction.net/. (If running Menubar, look for a similar location in your hime area.) - Restart climate and all should be well. (Though I had one model crash out of the box. BOINC promptly threw it away and got a new one which ran, so no problem with that.) As to scheduling, I experience the problem as well, but only on my dual CPU macs. It seems to be most troublesome with Einstein, so I\'ve discontinued Einstein on my duals. However, at times I do see the duals (with Climate, Protein & SETI) trying to run 3 threads simultaneously. Though this reduces overall productivity of BOINC (due to decreased memory cache effectiveness) it, IMO, isn\'t that big a deal. Another poster mentioned that there is a 4.44 in the works to address scheduling problems. ID: 12976 / Score: 5 Hope this works for you and whoever else is battling to get going. All the best Andrew |

There seems to me that there is something amis with the boinc folder unstuffed from the climatepredict site, since the GUI Boinc from the Seti link you provided worked straight away, provides a different launch icon (folder) in Applications and I now find all the missing files and the climatepredict.net folder are available. I'm running seti classic. Should I leave it like that, or move it to the boin version? Do I still need the program CP Control? |

How to run the CP Vis program for Mac users
(Message 15738)
Posted 6 Sep 2005 by old_user28007 Post: Thank you Arnaud. Yes, I registered in October 2004, but was put off by the diffiuclty of getting anything of the climatepredict to work, especially after the ease with which SETI@home loaded and ran. I did receive a message with a long string of numbers for a Account ID and the URL:http://climateprediction.net. I have entered both into the CP Control prefences, but to no avail. I've also used the buttons to attach a project but nothing happens. CP Control does run, but after two days it still shows 0%. What I couldn't find out, both from the climatepredict forums and from your WIKI link which I discovered earlier in a forum, is how to attach to a project once the account and CP Control are active. It looks like Caroline Webb had a similar problem, and I was about to work through that thread to see if I could get anywhere. Shall I do that, rather than subject you to more question-answer-question correspondence? Andrew |

Posted 6 Sep 2005 by old_user28007 Post: Snake, thanks I don't see the folder named "BOINC Data". Where do I get it from? When I downloaded the program all that arrived was the folder boinc_4.43_darwin, continaing 2 files: boinc and boinc_cmd. I'm using an iMac G4, 1GHz machine and I'm pretty desperate to get ging as I have signed up for the OU course. I have CP Control successfully running and I've been using a stand alone version of SETI@home for some years now (i.e. prior to loading CP Control). Any help would be gratefully received. Andrew |
