I as trying to get the boinc_4.13_sparc-sun-solaris2.7 to run. I was getting errors saying "libstdc++.so.3: open failed", so I copied libstdc.so.3 and libgcc_s.so.1 into my ~/lib dir and set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment to include this location.

It now it no longer gives me the above errors, but it doesn't do anything. I get no output to the terminal, and I can't break out. I have to kill the terminal, if I didn't put it in the background. It does create a "lockfile" in the directory. I ran it once with no switches, and again with the -attach_project switch, and it never does anything.

Any idea why?

Why copy the file. libstdc++.so.3 should have been in /usr/local/lib The default for LD_LIBRARY_PATH is just /usr/lib

try the following and see if it works as it should

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib:/usr/local/lib
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH

or if you are using any shell but sh

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib:/usr/local/lib

then exec boinc.

Pete
