1) Questions and Answers : Unix/Linux : 64 bit processor (Message 27753)

For the Gentoo users out there, this fairly nasty hack works for me so I can easily use the gentoo init-scripts and boinc_gui, but still run 32-bit BOINC with CPDN, and easier to set up than a 32-bit chroot:

1. Emerge boinc 64-bit
# cat /etc/make.conf | grep CHOST
CHOST=\"x86_64-pc-linux-gnu\"
# emerge boinc -av


2. Download the boinc client to a temp directory and run the script to extract the files:
# cd ~/tmp
# ./boinc_5.8.15_i686-pc-linux-gnu.sh
# ls
BOINC
# ls BOINC
binstall.sh  boinc_cmd  boincmgr.16x16.png  boincmgr.8x8.png  locale      run_manager
boinc        boincmgr   boincmgr.32x32.png  ca-bundle.crt     run_client


3. Finally, as root copy the 32-bit Boinc binaries over the 64-bit ones you emerged, start the boinc daemon and you\'re away. 64-bit boinc_gui will work with 32-bit boinc_client and boinc_cmd.
# cp boinc /usr/bin/boinc_client
# cp boinc_cmd /usr/bin/boinc_cmd
# /etc/init.d/boinc start
