Sounds like something else is the issue... 64 bit? Anyway, here's the wiki page

http://boinc.berkeley.edu/wiki/Installing_on_Linux

Your Ubuntu does not have the Synaptic Package Manager where from you can pull the update?

Bearcat,

posting the actual series of messages in BOINC helps us speed through the solution. Probably you need to add the line I had to add to the cc_config.xml per this FAQ: http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/forums/wcg/viewthread_thread,28642

This wiki also gives good tips: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BOINC

Don't ask me where your file is. I've discovered during my initiation that opposed to Windows, the file is created for the Linux install. In my case it was in /etc/boinc-client [I hate this case sensitivity *nix OSses, though it makes sense]. Had to do a chown before I could edit the file.

hmmm, please see this post for link to the FAQ explaining the option line that needs inserting into the cc_config.xml

... but momentarily I see you reading that FAQ, so suppose you'll be getting there :>)

I tried adding that line in the cc_config.xml file but still get the errors. Any place specific were to add the line?

(Found my old post about where to add it so hopefully it will work.)
