problem after install on Ubuntu 11.04
I installed boinc_6.10.58_i686-pc-linux-gnu.sh on Ubuntu 11.04 and can't get it started:

jpfuntner@sussancws0114:~$ /home/jpfuntner/Downloads/boinc_6.10.58_i686-pc-linux-gnu.sh
use /home/jpfuntner/BOINC/run_manager to start BOINC

BOINC/run_manager: line 1: /home/jpfuntner/BOINC/boincmgr: No such file or directory
jpfuntner@sussancws0114:~$

I tried changing run_manager to set LIBPATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH to the current working directory but it did not help.

Can anyone advise?

I have no idea but when I installed Ubuntu it put a link in the menu under System and I just clicked on that to make Boinc run. I am NOT a Linux guy so beyond that I am of NO help at all.

Re: problem after install on Ubuntu 11.04
Hi John Pfuntner,

Just open up the RPM manager, (Ubuntu software center [USC] or Synaptic), type BOINC in the search box and it will offer you the best integrated and ported release. USC is the optimum route to install from, just a single click. The .sh installing is a pain in the ()... even sudo apt-get install boinc boincmgr from terminal does a better job then do a sudo service boinc start . The Menu will offer an option to launch the BOINC Manager, hidden somewhere in Other I think to remember.

edit: for socially acceptable term, per post below ;D

!!! Off topic !!!
is a pain in the proverbial...


For future reference, socially acceptable ending would be "neck" (or the ellipsis also works.)

What you see is the common problem when one installs a 32 bit program in an 64 bit operating system. The binary you want to run is there, but the libraries needed by this binary are missing. I would bet that you are running a 64 bit ubuntu ... and your boinc is clearly 32 bit (6.10.58_i686). You should install the 64 bit version of boinc and you should install the 32 bit compatibility libraries for ubuntu. May be this thread can help you:

There is a good chance that the packet names are the same like for Debian.

I had similar problems. I resolved them by changing OS to LiinuxMint.
