I downloaded the new Boinc client (4.05) and setup the climate project. The downloads and installations appeared to run well, but when the model starts, it hangs.

"Waiting for model startup, this may take a minute...
06x7_100033997 - PH 1 TS 000001 - 00/00/0000 00:00 - H:M:S=0000:00:00 AVG= 0.00 DLT= 0.00"

No further activity or messages.
All seems to have halted.

Does anyone know what's going on?
Should I kill this project and wait a few months for the coders to debug things?

Further information:
Below is the log after I waited most of the day:
Something is messed up with this project:

I'm having the same problem I believe. I've loaded boinc v 4.x on three linux machines. Two of them redhat 9, and one Yoper 2.1. When I start boinc it displays that message, but upon looking at top the process is zombied and the system is idle.

I have the same problem since today. I tried to attach the project to some additional machines, which have the same configuration as a machine that runs cpdn since yesterday morning.

In the workunit directory exist a file stderr_um.txt.

stderr_um.txt:
forrtl: info: Fortran error message number is 63.
forrtl: warning: Could not open message catalog: ifcore_msg.cat.
forrtl: info: Check environment variable NLSPATH and protection of /usr/lib/ifcore_msg.cat.
forrtl: info: Fortran error message number is 63.
forrtl: warning: Could not open message catalog: ifcore_msg.cat.

forrtl: info: Fortran error message number is 17.
forrtl: warning: Could not open message catalog: ifcore_msg.cat.
forrtl: info: Check environment variable NLSPATH and protection of /usr/lib/ifcore_msg.cat.

This file is empty on the machine that's working


I hope someone of the team is watching the forum, because that's a little bit strange.

Cheers

Your problems <i>might</i> be related to a Visual Fortran error that's been afflicting the windows build recently. Seems that some workunits have gone out with a duff file.

Check out <a href="http://www.climateprediction.net/board/viewtopic.php?t=2296&amp;p=20006#20006">this thread</a> on the phpBB forum.

And thanks to <b>sjokela</b> for doing the investigative work and <b>UK_Nick</b> for providing a link to the file that gives a workaround for the problem :)
