Hi all... I've dragged through the internet looking for an answer to my problem and I can't find it anywhere. I have FreeNAS for my file server and I thought I'd whack Seti on it. Installed BOINC, it runs no problems. I grabbed a FreeBSD port of Seti@home 5.12 and it won't run for the following reason: /libexec/ld-elf.so.1: Shared object "libpthread.so.1" not found, required by "setiathome-5.12.i386-unknown-freebsd" I found this thread: http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/forum_thread.php?id=31335#319777 Which indicates to create a link to a directory but in FreeNAS, libpthread.so.1 doesn't exist, or at least, I can't find it (locate doesn't work either). Does anyone have any tips or help? (Hoping Dotsch sees this). Much appreciated. |

FreeNAS is a very slimmed down version of FreeBSD for a specific purpose. I tried what you are now trying a year or so ago, but never succeeded to get it working. What I ended up doing was somewhat the opposite: Install FreeBSD and copy some files from FreeNAS to it, so I got FreeNAS functions but still could do all "normal" FreeBSD things, including BOINC and SETI@home, Einstein@home, etc... However, I no longer have that running. When I get more free time, I'll give FreeBSD another shot. I like it a lot, but the learning curve is very, very steep. Playing with FreeBSD, made my switch to Linux from Windows very easy ;) Edit: Remembered something I had to do with some of those: If you can find any 'libpthread.so' or 'libpthread.so.x' (where x is a number), you should be able to make a symbolic link from libpthread.so.1 to that one and it may work. |

Success! I followed Dotsch's instructions a little more closely and it worked. |

Well, after a little bit of time I have another question... With the boinc preferences, the option: Suspend work while computer is in use? Does anyone know the specific definition of when a computer is in use? My FreeNAS machine is a single core machine that acts as a file server. When SETI is crunching at 100%, I cannot transfer files to or from the server. It seems that SMB requires a fair whack of CPU to be able to function properly. If I set the Suspend work while computer is in use? setting to yes, will seti suspend when SMB fires up or is it triggered by a UI interface (keyboard/mouse)? |

Probably not, since "in use" means using of keyboard or mouse. Gruß, Gundolf [edit]I didn't read the last sentence to the end the first time :-)[/edit] Computer sind nicht alles im Leben. (Kleiner Scherz) SETI@home classic workunits 3,758 SETI@home classic CPU time 66,520 hours |

Thanks for the response, I'll set it to only crunch at certain hours then. Thanks again. |
