bash: ./boinc: No such file or directory

Hi!

I am trying to install BOINC and connect it to www.worldcommunitygrid.org using ubuntu linux and terminal and after I try this-

mike@stupidwd:~/BOINC$ ./boinc -attach_project www.worldcomminitygrid.org 00000MYPASSWORDHERE00000

it gives me this-

bash: ./boinc: No such file or directory

Any ideas? The file is installed in my home directory in a folder named BOINC.

Thanks,
Mike

Re: bash: ./boinc: No such file or directory

The easiest way to use BOINC on Ubuntu is to install it using the apt packages.

apt-get update
apt-get install boinc-client boinc-manager

Then use BOINC Manager to attach to WCG.

Last time i "updated" unbuntu i could not get boinc to work ( prob different issue i know) prob some sudo super user thing i did wrong? anyway got bored frustrated annoyed and reinstalled suse again.. will use your idea next time i change or update, i do like ubuntu but as i could ot get bonc to crunch at that time i went back to older suse.. the tip sin the boinc website worked fine for older unbuntu so i still dont know what i did wrong.. of course i had to change the example code for the current version etc.. i will consider you way next time cheers..
