I tried to run the boinc client at my linuxbox with debian woody. It always fails with following error.
Please help me :-)

I get this error under linux emulation on some freebsd machines. The emulation is neccesarily based on older binaries than let's say suse 9.1 (freebsd calls it linux_base-8). I'm pretty sure debian woody is rather old now.. have you tried updating it?

I get the same error on Debian Woody boxes.
Trying to run the actual cpdn code (hadsm3_4.03_i686-pc-linux-gnu) produces the following:
./hadsm3_4.03_i686-pc-linux-gnu: error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

So it is just the same problem that the boinc client had before (see message 74). The climate model has been compiled against the new versions of the GNU libraries which woody doesn't have. It seems strange that you would do one, but not the other. Are you planning on compiling the actual climate model against the older libraries?

Cheers,
Randall.

Debian woody doesn't have the newest libraries of course. But at I don't need them, I just want to have a rocking stable os ;) And that's why I'm using woody. I will not update my entire os just to run climateprediction.
I guess woody is still a common os and it will be nice if climateprediction client works an these machines too.

That's if you have the new libraries installed in /usr/local/lib, which standaard Debian Woody doesn't (at least not here). You'd need to install a backport of the required libraries (libc?). I think it all sounds rather scary to have 2 versions of libraries on the same server, either you go for stable or you don't, but if it's possible then http://www.backports.org/ is the way. I'm not risking it. Debian stable will become Sarge sometime this year, see http://www.debianplanet.org/node.php?id=1131#comment, so it's not long to wait.

In hadsm3_4.04 my problem is solved. Thx :-)

Excellent! And where do I download this? All I can find is the boinc client.

Thanks,
PEte

it should start to download automaticly if your boinc client starts

&gt; it should start to download automaticly if your boinc client starts
&gt;
&gt;
But that was the whole problem, when I start boinc I get:

pete@debian:~/boinc$ ./boinc_4.05_i686-pc-linux-gnu
./boinc_4.05_i686-pc-linux-gnu: error while loading shared libraries: libgcc_s.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

&gt; pete@debian:~/boinc$ ./boinc_4.05_i686-pc-linux-gnu
&gt; ./boinc_4.05_i686-pc-linux-gnu: error while loading shared libraries:
&gt; libgcc_s.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
&gt;

oh yeah, the boinc client would have to be built statically as well! I thought this one was since it's about 10MB uncompressed! but it has:

[carlc@cpdncc boinc]$ ldd boinc_4.05_linux
libz.so.1 =&gt; /usr/lib/libz.so.1 (0x40013000)
libnsl.so.1 =&gt; /lib/libnsl.so.1 (0x40022000)
libm.so.6 =&gt; /lib/i686/libm.so.6 (0x40037000)
libgcc_s.so.1 =&gt; /lib/libgcc_s.so.1 (0x40059000)
libc.so.6 =&gt; /lib/i686/libc.so.6 (0x42000000)
/lib/ld-linux.so.2 =&gt; /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x40000000)

I will see if I can statically compile the various so's...
