I'm running a set of Sun 220R systems (Ultra 60) and recently upgraded to the Boinc client 5.4.9 as compiled by Stefan Urbat. However, it's reporting sparc64-sun-solaris for my platform which isn't recognized. What can I do to fix this problem? I currently have no files under the projects directory having just had to detach the older project which was using setiathome.ssl.berkeley.edu in favor of the shorter URL setiathome.berkeley.edu.

Thanks for the help.

Stop the BOINC client and copy the files app_info.xml and setiathome-5.x... from the install archive to the projects/setiathome.berkeley.edu directory.
After this start the BOINC client with the option "-update_prefs http://setiathome.berkeley.edu"

Aha, so that's how it's done. Thanks a lot, works fine now.
