Did this not work ? Why do you use a app_info.xml ? Could you please post your app_info.xml here. ID: 607845 ·

Normaly, the server should send out the application to your system. Did this not work ? Why do you use a app_info.xml ? Could you please post your app_info.xml here. Actually, I don't have one. And the server apparently does not recognize "i586-pc-linux-gnu" as a valid platform. I read about the app_info.xml in some threads related to this platform problem but most of those threads deal with the more exotic architectures and I can't figure out what to put inside app_info.xml to make it work...

I'm having this "[SETI@home] Message from server: platform 'i586-pc-linux-gnu' not found" problem and this is a 686 system which used to work ok. I cannot figure where boinc in getting this i586 stuff. Linux localhost 2.6.22-sabayon #1 SMP Sat Jul 21 11:00:08 UTC 2007 i686 AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 3200+ AuthenticAMD GNU/Linux ID: 626346 ·

This means you will have to download and compile it yourself. After that you have to create an app_info.xml file. Alternatively you can probably find someone who has compiled it somewhere on the net.
