I'm getting a client error when running on my Linux box:

Linux example (bad):

Starting task wu_1180852337_2716_0 using starboard version 512

Unrecoverable error for result wu_1180852337_2716_0 (process exited with code 127 (0x7f))

Computation for task wu_1180852337_2716_0 finished

It also gets:

Message from server: Starting in 302 days and 9 hours, project will require a minimum BOINC core client version of 5.10.0. You are currently using version 5.4.11; please upgrade before this time.

Windows example (good):

application starboard - XScreenSaver GL graphics suite
created 3 Jun 2007 12:09:21 UTC
name wu_1180852337_1232

Outcome: Success

Any Ideas? Thanks!

Error 127 means a file (dependency) is missing. More than likely it will be related to you have the "wrong" version of glibc. If you want to track it down, run ldd on the starboard application (cd into your pirates directory and ldd starboard_512[tab key]).

This will identify any missing dependencies, which you can then trackdown (possibly) using your distro's package maintainer.

Your Linux box shows one of the problems with trying to write an app which runs on all versions of Linux from all distros. If one of the versions of the shared libraries doesn't match then the app will fail to start. In your case it's glibc++.so.6.

I have a little trick I'd like to try to deal with this. So if you'll stand by on that machine until I can get it ready, you'll be able to perform a very valuable service when it's ready.

OK, so I tried "simple - stupid" approach:

Building Dependency Tree... Done
E: Couldn't find package libstdc++.so.6

Any Suggestions? Thanks!

Good. But these are not the real test. The `hello` app is compiled statically, which means it doesn't depend on dynamic libraries on the client host. So they won't have the problem I described earlier. When we get to something with graphics, then we'll try my little trick and see if it works...

My other Linux box.. "Linux 2.6.15-chw-2" (Knoppmyth box R5C7 on Pentium 4 CPU 3.00GHz) continues with the Client Error.
