(moderation:
I currently run einstein on 3 machines, 2 windows and one freebsd.
The version of boinc that I am running on the existing freebsd machine is boinc-einsteinathome-4.18_2. This is a FreeeBSD 7.1 stable machine. Still crunching numbers from what I can see without any problems.
I just set up a new FreeBSD machine, FreeBSD 8.0, and when I tried to install Einstein I received the following message.
===> boinc-einsteinathome-4.18_2,2 is out of work units. No FreeBSD app exists for current batch of work.
*** Error code 1
The 7.1 BSD box has been running Einstein for a couple years now and has been through several upgrades in the os without me having to reinstall the Einstein application.
The 8.0 BSD box was just built last night with the Einstein application downloaded in the latest snapshot of ports.
From what I can tell, both BSD box's have the same version of Einstein on them. One previously compiled and one that won't compile because of the message I posted.
Soooooooooo, does this mean that I can't process einstein on FreeBSD any more?

Your FreeBSD 7.1 box has no tasks on board and has a RAC of 0.00 which means that it's a very long time since it returned any valid work. I doubt very much it's crunching any Einstein numbers at the moment.
The Einstein apps change relatively regularly when each of the science runs changes. We are currently on S5R6 and unless you have an app for that you wont be doing any crunching. I don't think there'll be a current app in 'ports'.
Probably. Unless you can run the latest Linux BOINC under Linux emulation and then download the current Linux version of the S5R6 apps from the Einstein download directory and run them under the anonymous platform mechanism (AP), you may be out of luck.
If you can run BOINC 6.10.17 under Linux emulation on FreeBSD, report back here and I'll give you instructions on how to download the current science apps to try out under AP.
Cheers,
Gary.
RE: If you can run BOINC
)
Well, that is the pits. I had to install x11 on the FreeBSD 8 machine just to get boinc to compile. I do everything command line, so this was only for the boinc install.
Ok, I need to do a bit of research before I get back to you. Thank you for the reply. Much appriceated
Dang, that kind of ruined my day.
RE: RE: If you can run

Well, I don't know about BSD, but I have compiled and installed BOINC on a couple of "X11-less" Linux machines without any problems. The BOINC version I used is 6.10.25 from the subversion repository.
