Hello!
I install ATI and get OpenCL to work, also add on latest lunatics
(07-Linux 64bit OpenCL AstroPulse for AMD/ATI GPUs (r1844), May 2013 )
and get that messages in my boinc:

what i can do with that?
search over google for that, but not found answers for my situation...

Well, the sever is correct - your app_info.xml file doesn't have a usable version of SETI@home v7.

The specification would start with

<app>
<name>setiathome_v7</name>
</app>

and all of yours are astropulse_v6

Go and have a look at http://lunatics.kwsn.net/index.php?module=Downloads;catd=48

You will need to 'splice' the two app_info files together - link them together, one after the other, but take out the

</app_info>
<app_info>

pair in the middle of the file, to hide the join. You just want one <app_info> right at the start, and one </app_info> at the very end.

Thank you very much!
download these too
http://lunatics.kwsn.net/index.php?module=Downloads;sa=dlview;id=373

rename botj app_info.xml to appinfo.a and appinfo.b, do a
cat appinfo.a appinfo.b >app_info.xml , and delete

</app_info>
<app_info>

in the middle, as you said, and after start boinc get a:

That's how I like them - no fuss, no bother, and a happy outcome :)

just wondering of the name for the AP app is correct. Did they change the linux app naming to have the version name in the middle of the name or is this a copying error and it should be at the end or at least an underscore between the app number and the r version



ap_6.07r1844_sse2_clATI_linux64 what he has
ap_6.07_r1844_sse2_clATI_linux64 shouldn't it look like that or
ap_6.07_sse2_clATI_linux64_r1844

Dude, it doesn't matter in the slightest what the name is.

All that matters is that the name in the app_info matches the name of the file. I've just checked the download location he cited, and they do match.

and instead of being irritated by my question. You could have explained, if you really know, why the apps aren't using the conventional nomenclature

There isn't really a 'convention' for naming the third-party applications. Each developer chooses to name their own applications according to their own personal preferences. Most of the third-party apps we've seen have been for the Windows environment, which means (in recent years) just three developers - though you'll notice the difference between OpenCL and CUDA applications.

You'll also notice that when a third-party application is accepted for distribution as a stock application, it's name is changed from the 'external' convention to the 'project' convention.

No, I don't know why the Linux developer didn't follow any pre-existing pattern: he was probably just so relieved at getting it to work properly that it slipped his mind - like I said, it's not the most important aspect of application development.

And with that thought, we probably ought both to shut up, before a mod calls 'thread hijack'.
