1) Questions and Answers : Macintosh : CPDN appears to crash when switching BOINC project apps (Message 13616) Posted 20 Jun 2005 by old_user59201 Post: Applied my fix to machines running BOINCManager; I believe it also applied and worked on one machine I had running BOINC Menubar (still had OSX 3.8 on that machine -- BOINC Manager requires 3.9 or greater). Looks like the same problem on your system. If you did create the /opt/ibmcmp/lib folder and populate it, and the problem occurs, it may be a permissions issue. You probably should insure the folders and files in the /opt tree have the same permission set as /library/application support/BOINC.
2) Questions and Answers : Macintosh : Client not running on Macintosh v4.43 (Message 12976) Posted 31 May 2005 by old_user59201 Post: 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.
