Yeah lucky, I am running the same kernel as you are, got some results granted and all of a sudden it kept going wrong (last week more than 300 points), like Robert said I gave up and installed wine with boinc 4.19, sad to say.

John; is there anything special about wine; like what is your command line for starting boinc, et. al. Any other hints/gotchas you would care to share .....

Robert,

You can do a search on WINE: see also my following answer in another thread I gave.

http://einsteinathome.org/node/188593

IMHO running under Linux is waste of time; after a couple of approved and credited WU's,all my recent WU's are credited 0 again.
Combine this with the slow running om all platforms but Windows, I decided to install wine also, plse have a look at the follwing site about dll's and installshield issue's and setup will be easy.

http://frankscorner.org/index.php?p=ishield

Plse use the 4.19 version for windows and run 'nice wine boinc_cli.exe -return_results_immediately -allow_remote_gui_rpc'
Do not forget to export the warnings as follows, (before starting boinc !! in the xterm):
export WINEDEBUG="err-all,warn-all,fixme-all,trace-all"
You can have the screensaver then by telnetting to port 127.0.0.1 31416

Results so far are good for most people,

Hopefully there will be a better native solution for specific nonWin platforms

PS.
Without the 'export WINEDEBUG' there will be many errors in your xterm window; they seem to be related with sceduling but they do NOT however influence the results; I have already meny credited WU's and crunching is without errors for 96 hr already.

Succes !!

Hi: Im also getting

Hi:

Im also getting invalid results, but only with a fedora core 1 2.4 kernel. Im also running a windows xp, gentoo 2.6 kernel and a knoppix 2.4 (short on harddrives) which have never had invalid results.

I ran memtest and prime95 stress tests, both came back fine... it just seems odd that two linux boxes report no problems, and the fedora box has only had one success in 10 tries....

BEGINNER WINE(ER) user question:

1)where do i put the DLLs that i am missing (opengl32.dll,glu32.dll)
2)what would the exact "config" file syntax for these be: ?

i Tried to RTFM, but no luck so far.
i built wine, and hace had impressive (but no boinc, due to missing dlls) results so far :-)

Hello Robert, Use the

Hello Robert,

Use the following lines:
export WINEDEBUG="err-all,warn-all,fixme-all,trace-all"
nice wine boinc_cli.exe -return_results_immediately

The boinc_cli is the command line interface and doesn't use opengl, therefore you don't need opengl32.dll. I think you have tried the gui version.

(I was to late with my reply, I can see that it is running now on your system, but I don't have a answer on the problem you mentioned)

Hi Robert,

Was on the travel home,

As Peter noticed you don't need them as long as you stay to command line,
On frankscorner.org you can find links to a site that has downloads available for various DLL's if you prefer any.

I don't know were your problems are related to, but I've noticed similar ones on this forum,maybe just do a find.

I see that you are running indeed, good luck

John,

I solved my problem, although

Message 8990 in response to message 8989

I solved my problem, although i am not sure what i did that solved it. My best bet was i was having a problem in the Wine environment finding the Einstien executable(?) (or something). i tried the winecfg gui to check my wine configuration, while in there I added both BOINC executables to the wine registered programs, and every thing started work (strange ....)

I am going to allocate some time to investigating how the Wine environment works, ANY HINTS as to where to start ????
