Re: How to run boinc_7.0.28_x86_64-pc-linux-gnu.sh |CentOS release 5.9 (Final)

Hi,

Does not look much like a successful install, but there sure is a wiki out there that leads the steps to crunch: http://boinc.berkeley.edu/wiki/Installing_BOINC#Installing_BOINC_as_a_package

Does not specifically cover CentOS, but see no reason why those steps would not work for this nix version.

Also, search for CentOS on the forums such as this thread: https://secure.worldcommunitygrid.org/forums/...ead,34570_offset,0#408375

As for lsb_release -a ... tells me on Ubuntu I have no LSB [Linux Standard Base] modules ... Small giggle, trying to keep this install as close as possible to the original so next maybe a first is possible to upgrade from 13.10 to 13.14... next April.

Dumping terminal output without commentary is not going to get us very far. Checking up, CentOS does know yum, from which you can pull BOINC: http://itekblog.com/do-something-good-with-your-pc-boinc-on-rhelfedoracentos/

Not sure at all if 6.10.58 is CentOS 5 compatible, but one thread notes success of this version on 5.5.

FOr one thing boinc_6.10.58_i686-pc-linux-gnu.sh does not install /etc/init.d/boinc-client. You have to install from repositories for the startup scripts to be installed.

I am Debina/Ububtu user but these should work

yum list libgtk-x11
yum install libgtk-x11


Installing stuff in root and as root is seldom a good idea.
