>>Who build that version? In other words, where did you download it from?
I think I downloaded it from the Debian website. I did that because I had tried the one from the seti website and had found it difficult to install as I was not linux savvy. I am still not linux savvy but getting better.
>>Is it an older Augustine build?
I have no idea if it is even what an Augustine build is.
I will try this download, but this also exemplifies my point about linux not being as user friendly as competent linux users would have you believe -- The install instructions to which you have pointed me give no clue as to what directory it is best installed in/from. In my earlier attempts I tried installing it into my home directory but that seemed to make it impossible to run it from bootup. Later attempts have installed it into the /var tree (I think) as you can see from the paths I mentioned earlier.
So, could you provide some guidance as to which directory I ought to download and run the shell script into?
I do apologise for dragging this on and i very much appreciate your help and efforts. Console yourself by thinking that you are teaching a willing pupil ;)

A user called Augustine has been distributing his own 64bit version of BOINC a long time before Berkeley started releasing their own.

No apologies needed, if you don't know something do ask. Is what I do.
Now as to pointing to the correct directory and all that... I'm not that Linux savvy either. What I usually do is download the shell script version and start it. It then unpacks itself in the same directory I have always been using on my Linux. So... I can't help there. :-(
But I'm sure someone else, like Bikeman will be over any moment now and tell you. :-)
I guess it's best to install first under your home directory and see whether it works at all. The fine tuning like making it auto-start on bootup can be done later, and BOINC is easily relocated to a different directory.
So at the end of the installation (basically only downloading the package, unpack it, make it executable if it isn't and execute it) you should habe a BOINC subdirectory under your home directory.
You can then start the core client in this directory using
./run_client &
and the GUI using
./run_manager &
from a shell window.
Does it work?
If you need an "authenticator" to join E@H on this BOINC installation, you can look up this key in your old account_einstein.phys.uwm.edu.xml file.

P.S.: I'm not sure wether you would have to "detach" your host from teh project first and attach it later with the new version. Usually you would just install a new version OVER the old one retaining existing files, but given that your current version is very old, I'm more inclined to the detach-reattach procedure. Jord? What do you think?
I knew there was a bit of help more that I could point to: http://www.spy-hill.net/help/boinc/unix.html. This shows you just about everything you need to do, including a how to to make BOINC start as a daemon.

No, there's no need to uninstall or detach. In none of the older versions of BOINC was it ever necessary to detach, unless the URL of the project had changed. Which isn't the case here, is it? (me checks... ;-))
What you may be confused with is the need to uninstall BOINC 4.19 before changing over to any version above that. And that's on Windows only, as far as I know. All the other versions can easily be installed directly on top of each other.
I guess it's best to install first under your home directory .....u should habe a BOINC subdirectory under your home directory.

Have you tried updating your Linux, through the synaptec packet manager?
Or at least tried to update GLIB or GLIBC?
Or tried to update your Debian Etch with a completely new version and kernel? I just checked and the latest versions (of DE 4 stable) are already up to GLIBC_2.6

No, you're now detached from Einstein@Home. No need to wait. Your only way is to re-attach, but you can only do that after you either returned (for now) to the old BOINC version, or updated your Linux so it has GLIBC_2.4
I have updated my O.S. from Fedora 13 to Fedora 14 and now I'm getting lun 01 nov 2010 17:29:24 CET Einstein@Home Message from server: platform 'x86_64-pc-linux-gnu' not found
In Fedora 13 it worked, so I cannot figure out why now it says platform not found... I already tried to reset the project and after that I completely removed and reinstalled the Boinc directory, but no luck.
Any idea?

I'm not sure but I think you need to upgrade to a newer BOINC version. Can someone confirm this?

Hi!
There seems to be a confusion in BOINC as to what platform string should be used for 64 bit Linux: x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu or x86_64-pc-linux-gnu.
I forwarded this to the admins, maybe there's a workaround.
