1) Questions and Answers : Wish list : correct web site error (Message 1003) Posted 11 Dec 2007 by Christoph Franzen Post: I get this when logged in, and logging in is also problematic: Notice: Trying to get property of non-object in /export/share0/www/boinc/milkyway/html/inc/forum_mysql_dbh.inc on line 172
2) Questions and Answers : Wish list : glibc 2.3 or statically linked application (Message 1002) Posted 11 Dec 2007 by Christoph Franzen Post: Your Linux application is linked against glibc 2.4 so it crashes on startup when run on older machines/distributions. 3 possibilities: 1) Detect this and refuse to run I would not prefer this because it means losing the CPU power of these clients, besides it would be advisable to detach the machine from the project automatically in this case, if not it will waste CPU and download bandwidth with repeated failing attempts. 2) Compile against glibc 2.3 If glibc 2.4 makes the programme faster on many machines this is also not good. 3) Link it statically This is preferabele: it will then run on any machine with a suitable boinc client, no matter which libc is installed.
3) Questions and Answers : Unix/Linux : Compute errors (Message 1000) Posted 10 Dec 2007 by Christoph Franzen Post: One of my machines is getting nothing but compute errors. <core_client_version>5.10.21</core_client_version> <![CDATA[ <message> process exited with code 1 (0x1, -255) </message> I get this particular error on machines with glibc < 2.4, BOINC 5.10.21 runs fine with that version, 5.10.28 doesn't. If the science application requires at least glibc 2.4, it will exit immediately without even touching the workunit and you will get this error.
