I want to install Boinc.

Hi Richard Cranium
What response do you get from this command:

Code: [Select]

tce-load -wi boinc

[CentralWare]

@Richard Cranium Please run the following command and return its response:

Code: [Select]

uname -rIF it returns anything that ends in tinycore64 you simply have the wrong platform installed; @Juanito built the boinc extension for x86, not x86_64 (however 86_64 should be available in the somewhat near future IF everything compiles correctly.)

Code: [Select]

versionIf it returns anything other than 15.## we're running the wrong version of TCL

Code: [Select]

tce-load -wi wxwidgets31.tczThis is a dependency of boinc; if this also returns a Not Found error, you're very likely running x64 instead of x86
If it downloads and installs, we may have a different issue.

Since i don't have a browser installed i can't log into the forum from that machine , so i wrote i down...

no i'm running on 32 bit.

/opt/tcemirror needs to be changed back to its default
http://repo.tinycorelinux.net/
Ibiblio does not yet have the updates that were created specifically for you.

So i'm using the wrong mirror??? 

[CentralWare]

Not "wrong" necessarily...  they just don't have Boinc yet since it was custom created for you specifically.
Additionally, as soon as you have Boinc installed, you can revert back to Ibiblio if you'd like.

OH MY GOSH , it worked that time.!   it's installed , but it won't launch..!

terminal output ==> "illegal instruction"

The boinc extension is definately still in the repo..



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.{/quote]

@Richard: I have no history with the extension so I could be way off with assumptions; just for giggles, try to launch the manager app with root privileges:

Code: [Select]

sudo boincmgrIt probably is unrelated due to the type of error reported, but there's always that 0.0003% of a chance.

Normally, IOp Errors happen when they're trying to do something they're not allowed to do or the direction they're trying to take doesn't exist.  (Laymen's terms at least!) As such, there's a good chance one or more of the many, many, many dependencies may in fact be too "new" where functions that used to exist simply don't exist or they have been changed and now act differently, or, with that fraction of a percent chance, they may now have elevated privileges today where they didn't back then, so the "sudo" above should cross that option off.

Hi Richard Cranium
Illegal instruction means the program contains an instruction that
your CPU does not support. For instance, if your CPU is an i486 and
it encounters an instruction meant for an i686 CPU, you will receive
that error.

That can occur if the compiler let's an unsupported instruction slip
through. It can also happen if the program being compiled requires
a later CPU that supports certain instructions.

[Juanito]

It would help if you could paste the illegal instruction text from the terminal here as well as any relevant text from dmesg (dmesg | grep illegal).

The above would help determine whether the illegal instruction is due to boinc, wxwidgets or something else.

Could you also let us know what kind of cpu you have.

working on that right now.

pentium 3 , 700 mhz

yeah i realize that's fairly old and slow., but like i said before , i'm just trying to give this old machine something to do...

see above..  but isn't P3 a 686 cpu?

Hi Richard Cranium

... see above..  but isn't P3 a 686 cpu?

OK, I'l try this again.

For instance For example, if your CPU is a P3 and it
encounters an instruction a P4 CPU supports (SSE2 for example),
you will receive that error.

Yes I read that before. 

But what are you really trying to say??  Because , I didn't think we've established that I'm running the wrong architecture.

@Juanito built the boinc extension for x86, not x86_64

and that's what i'm running..
