Hi,
You don't tell what version of BOINC you installed or what bits, but these were quick hits, right at the developers forum and Gentoo wiki, using Google: http://boinc.berkeley.edu/dev/forum_thread.php?id=7262#42456 http://en.gentoo-wiki.com/wiki/BOINC_x86_on_64bit Do these help? --//-- P.S. It's BOINC just as it is CentOS ;>) |

I set up Boinc on Centos 6 a few weeks ago, I followed these instructions .
----------------------------------------Just change # yum install boinc-client to # yum install boinc-client boinc-manager If you have trouble with the client connecting to local host follow these instruction where it says under setting up your account the recommended procedure    |

Okay looks like downgrading my BOINC client to 6.10.58 fixed the problem. Thanks for the help !

Great, thread OP title please to be marked [RESOLVED] as I did to this post.
Sunfolk, thanks for those links. Maybe these too will help the next with same/similar issue. Interesting is that I found a Gentoo wiki for the problem and you a Fedora flavor one. :D --//-- |

Shall I use openSUSE or Ubuntu in order to get higher versions of boinc ? Neither, you should use Centos! You generally can't mix and match packages from different distributions. But dont expect any upgrades anytime soon, Centos maybe supported (in terms of security/bug fixes)for years and years but the downside is that the package versions may not be upgraded for years and years  Why do you need to upgrade? If you must have the latest and greatest try Fedora or even Ubuntu. I have Boinc 6.10.45 on two RHEL/Centos boxes works fine and I dont have to follow the Ubuntu 18 month "upgrade cycle" or suffer Unity  [Edit 3 times, last edit by sunfolk at Apr 24, 2012 11:05:02 PM] |
