I tried to run the boinc 4.05 client on my debian woody linuxbox. But I always get the following error.
Please help me :-)

Your boinc 4.05 client seems to be fine but the programme which does the climate simulation (hadsm3_4.03_i686-pc-linux-gnu or similar) exits unexpectedly (don't know what code 127 means, though). Have a look whether all the libraries required by hadsm3 are available:

ldd -v projects/climateprediction.net/hadsm3_4.03_i686-pc-linux-gnu

I have exactly the same issue running Debian sarge and kernel 2.6.8.1.
Here are the ldd output:
ldd boinc_4.05_i686-pc-linux-gnu
libz.so.1 => /usr/lib/libz.so.1 (0x40023000)
libnsl.so.1 => /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libnsl.so.1 (0x40034000)

ldd hadsm3_4.03_i686-pc-linux-gnu

/lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x40000000)


I would also add that the version used during the beta (hadsm3_4.02) is working well in the same env.

Appears to be fine. Can you run hadsm3_4.03_i686-pc-linux-gnu directly and which output do you get? On a working system it should produce:

$ ./hadsm3_4.03_i686-pc-linux-gnu
boinc_parse_init_data_file(): can't open init data file
Model exiting, invalid arguments: need UMID

On an older system I get

/lib/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.3' not found (required by ./hadsm3_4.03_i686-pc-linux-gnu

ie the libc library is too old for hadsm3_4.03. You can check this by executing

ldd -v /lib/libc.so.6
(in your case /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libc.so.6)

The output should have an entry containing GLIBC_2.3, if not then libc.so.6 is too old.
