Running Debian Unstable Pure AMD64 on an Althon64 3200. I suspect that I need to complile a seti client for AMD64, which I've flailed at for a couple of days. If so, a cry for help with that will be my next post :

But, just to confirm - I've downloaded several different BOINC clients - the "standard" x86, optimized XP, optimized AMD64, etc. All start up OK, download a seti client (if necessary) and WUs. Then, the fun begins:
[...]

This is because the seti client can't work on AMD64, right?

Thanks for any help.

i think the package you need is called amd64-libs

Hi again, Aki :)

This is a Pure64 system (64-bit kernel and packages), so it doesn't have a amd64-libs - the libs (libstdc++, etc.) are all 64-bit. There is an IA32-libs package, which is installed.

There are no nightly tarballs and the CVS sources don't come with a pre-built configure or Makefile script. The seem to need autoconf and automake, and I'm without a clue about that stuff...

- Larry.

amd64-libs was wrong


rpm -q -l zlib

/usr/lib/libz.so.1
/usr/lib/libz.so.1.2.1.2
/usr/share/doc/zlib-1.2.1.2
/usr/share/doc/zlib-1.2.1.2/README


the file libz.so.1 is included in the package zlib

You were close the first time, Aki! For Debian, the "native" library is in the package zlib1g-dev. The AMD64-from-i386 version is in the AMD64-libs-dev package. But I had the native version installed at the time.

Thanks, though, Aki
