Hello again,

This is a fresh install of FC3 and then I started loading the classic seti client (which I couldn't get to work at first, missing some libstdc++ files which I then added) but none of the add-ons; ksetiwatch or ksetispy will not work. The error I am getting is:

ksetiwatch: error while loading shared libraries: /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.5: ELF file data encoding not little-endian

I have since given up on the add-ons, and decided to go to the BOINC software, since that is what the future of seti will be using. I am not able to get the beta boinc client or the add-ons running, since they are giving me the exact same error message.

[singingotter@localhost BOINC]$ sh ./run_client
./boinc: error while loading shared libraries: /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.5: ELF file data encoding not little-endian

The classic seti client is running in terminal, I am just unable to view any of the work unit as the job progresses.

Any help would be appreciated.

Are you sure you downloaded the correct client? Sounds like your system does not like the file format or something.

I have tried both boinc_4.19_i686-pc-linux-gnu.gz and boinc_4.62_i686-pc-linux-gnu.sh and both report the same error.

I understand that there are a couple of lib rpm's that don't copy over from the install, and folks are finding out slowly what those are.

Everything ran well in FC2, it's just FC3 that's giving me issues.

Thanks

My FC3 system was compiled from source... you might try that if you still have a problem. Doesn't take too long.

Could you please elaborate on this? Like describing exactly what did you add, from where did you get it, and how did you add it?

It looks like you screwed up some of your libstdc++ libraries, quite possibly by installing a version of these libraries compiled for a different architecture (although RedHat provides FC ISOs only for i386 and ix86-64, it also provides packages for a variety of other CPU architectures, so it's conceivable that you accidentally downloaded and installed one of those).

You say that none of the add-ons worked, but only listed two. Did you try BOINCprog? If so, what problem did you have?
