BOINC for TC
thane:
I had an earlier thread here for SETI@home, but belatedly realized that BOINC is what I really needed to know about.
Has anyone downloaded BOINC to run under TC? What did you have to do to get it to work?
travcav:
Had to install the sql lite libraries first but otherwise it runs just fine. Just download it from the boinc download page.
Jason W:
I have run BOINC as well, just gtk2.tcz and perhaps one or two other deps, I can't remember which, but it was a simple setup.
thane:
Thanks, I'll try it.

<bump>
I finally downloaded the BOINC shell script and ran it.
BOINC was installed as /home/tc/BOINC. Is this how everyone else's install worked? It appears to be working but I got a lot of errors with not being able to find some slideshow[?] files. Also I tried adding the command to start BOINC to /opt/bootlocal.sh (/home/tc/BOINC/run_manager). However this doesn't appear to work. I don't reboot often so for now I've started BOINC manually.
edit: Poking around on the BOINC website, users of other Linux distros have had file error messages like I got, so apparently that's a BOINC/SETI@home problem rather than a TCL problem.
