Apologies if this has been asked before - just point me in the direection of answers if they exist.
Installed BOINC under Mandriva 2006, and using ./run_manager as suggested, issued at the moment from a terminal:
1. Why do I need to su root in order for this command to succeed? The script and the executable have execute privileges.
2. what is the meaning of these error messages and what should I do to avoid them?
[root@Bach BOINC]# ./run_manager
send: -1
send: Bad file descriptor
connect: Connection refused
connect: Operation now in progress
I shall put the command in my logon script when I know the answers!
The text of the run_manager script is
cd \"/home/graeme/BOINC\" && exec ./boincmgr $@
TIA

Don\'t run it as root! Check the permissions of all the other boinc files and directories.
Try to run BOINC directly without the run script ./boinc
