HD Install :: BOINC Installation.



Rebooting is not necessary.  If you have the ucis loaded on your live cd, they are located in /opt.  If you have your HD install on /dev/hda2, then copy the contents of the ucis to /opt in your HD install.  Like this:

cp -Rp /opt/gtk+-2.12.9 /mnt/hda2/opt/
cp -Rp /opt/gtk+-2.12.9-conf /mnt/hda2/opt/
cp -Rp /opt/xorg72 /mnt/hda2/opt/

Or just use emelfm.  Then have this in your /etc/ld.so.conf file in addition to what is already there:

/opt/gtk+-2.12.9/lib
/opt/xorg72/lib
/opt/xorg72/lib/X11/xdm
/opt/xorg72/lib/xorg/modules
/opt/xorg72/lib/xorg/modules/drivers
/opt/xorg72/lib/xorg/modules/extensions
/opt/xorg72/lib/xorg/modules/fonts
/opt/xorg72/lib/xorg/modules/input
/opt/xorg72/lib/xorg/modules/linux
/opt/xorg72/lib/xorg/modules/multimedia

Be sure /opt/gtk+-2.12.9/lib is on the first line, or at least above the /usr/lib line.  The xorg lines are what the uci adds.  Then run ldconfig.  This _should_ work.
Rod,
I ran across a pretty well written how to for BOINC on DSL:

http://www.seedwiki.com/wiki....h_boinc

It recommends an older version of BOINC, and does not use gtk2.  The newer BOINC version I mentioned should be fine if gtk2 and xorg is installed.  I got errors running BOINC programs, probably since I did not have gnu-utils loaded.  I will try again with gnu-utils loaded and I have a hunch it will be ok.  Let us know if you need any further help.

EDIT:  The BOINC version I said that works with DSL will not work. It is encountering critical errors.  I am trying other versions, and am also going to build it from source and see how that goes.
Well, all those critical errors are gone since I installed the libc6 package from Sarge as mentioned in the Flash 9 post in Ideas and Suggestions.  I have been running a project for 30 minutes and there has not been even the first error.  All other factors, gtk2, xorg, BOINC 5.8.16 and such, are the same as the above mentioned configuration.
Hi Grogley and Jason!

BOINC sounds like a nice project. Would there be any problems installing it on my DSL setup (an SDHC card inside a micromate connected to an usb port)? If there would be any differences would you please mention it to me. I'm running DSL-embedded with the boot code: "dsl fromhd=/dev/sda1 frugal".

Have fun and I hope everything will work out allright for you,

I am not familiar with your particular set up, but BOINC just runs inside one directory.  So it should be able to be used in most any DSL configuration I would think.  You may also need one of the gcc/compile extensions loaded, as well as gnu-utils.
