Unfortunatly, That dosen't really do me any good.  about a thousand files there. and not really a good way to get the ones i need (if i even knew what i needed ) onto the machine that would be running Boinc...

Try to download a package, i can't , the files are corrupt.   just shows up as a bunch of garbled nonsense.

Hi Richard Cranium
I downloaded the x86 version 7.4.22 from here:
https://boinc.berkeley.edu/download_all.php
After placing it in my home directory I ran:
Code: [Select]
tc@E310:~$ sh boinc_7.4.22_i686-pc-linux-gnu.sh
use /home/tc/BOINC/run_manager to start BOINC
tc@E310:~$
When I tried to start it, I got this:
Code: [Select]
tc@E310:~$ /home/tc/BOINC/run_manager
./boincmgr: error while loading shared libraries: libwebkitgtk-1.0.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
tc@E310:~$
webkitgtk-1.0-0.tcz  is not available in TC10. It was last available in TC4, but has so
many dependencies I doubt it would work if copied over. So that's where I stopped.

I tried compiling boinc-8.0.4, but it requires wxwidgets >= 3.1.3, whereas we have wxwidgets-3.0.4 in the x86 repo and wxwidgets-3.2.4 in the x86_64 repo.

You could try one of the pre-compiled packages available here: https://github.com/BOINC/boinc/releases, but I'm not sure they'd work.

If you are really desperate for boinc, I can try updating wxwidgets to, say, 3.1.7 in the x86 repo.

Hi Juanito

There was also a thread in 2012 where BOINC wouldn't run because
it was compiled against too new a version of libc.so:

Sorry for the late reply , OK so here's what's happened . booted newest version of TC same as before . Live , It's not installed yet (because i wanted to make sure boinc would work ) Found boinc in the TC repo , Set it to install , it installed , Clicked on the "boinc" icon on the bottom panel (what is the panel called?) , it didn't launch , so i rebooted and tried reinstall.

boinc won't show up in the repo now.  did i screw up something???

The boinc extension is definately still in the repo..

As you found out, when you reboot a live install, everything you had is lost - you might want to install to a usb stick or similar using tc-install from thr CorePlus iso.

If something does not start by clicking on an icon, you can open a terminal window and start it from there to check for errors - enter "boincmgr <cr>" in this case.

The window bar is called wbar.

Ok , I'm Either doing this completely the wrong way OR Boinc isn't available . ???

I've installed TC 15.0 to sda1 and it boots. Ethernet is working .  I checked my router settings for traffic coming from that machine (TC) and the router sees it.

i search for Boinc in the repo and it dosen't show up.  but it's wierd that other things show up , i typed random words and had search results. so that makes me think that I AM actually connected to the repo and that i have correctly used the package manager search function.   :)

So got to thinking that I'd boot up an older version of TC and give it go (version 10.1), Oddly enough it dosen't find the Boinc package either.

 ???
