Hi Robert. Did you compile your own version of the MW@home binaries? The error I am seeing from your work units is APP: error reading search parameters file (for read): data_file == NULL 21:16:22 (80277): called boinc_finish(0) which seems to me that is can't open the parameter files. I am not too familiar with the machines or operating system you are running on so if you could give me some more information about how you set things up I would appreciate it.

Nope I downloaded the MilkyWay at Home Boinc APP from the repo. I can compile one myself if needed ...

It would probably be best to try recompiling the code from here. https://github.com/Milkyway-at-home/milkywayathome_client.git If you have any trouble building the app let me know, you should be able to just run the build.py script and it will build for you.
