I'm using BOINC on FreeBSD 5.4 for amd64, and I can't get any WU.
There is a message from server.

Message from server : platform 'amd64-portbld-freebsd5.4' not found

Is this my personal problem, or server's problem?

It´s like the message says there is no port / client for your FreeBSD 5.4 and amd64 cpus. So boinc fails to download it.

take a look here http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/ports.cgi?query=boinc-setiathome&stype=all
maybe you find a matching client for your system otherwise you have to compile it yourself.

regards

Thank you for your kind answer, Crunch3r.
But, I have already installed these ports.

Before, I could get WU with these ports.
But recently I can't.
I don't know what to do now.

I'm not absolutely sure about it so this is more a hint what to look for.

I think you can override the requested program in app_info.xml and tell BOINC that you have your own project client and don't need the download.

This would allow you to try an optimized client for your system from a second source or download the one that worked before again from the SETI site or even compile your own project client.

I had the same problem, with freebsd5.4 and amd64. I had to make reinstall boinc-setiathome.

then it created the app_info.xml and link to setiathome binary properly under /var/db/boinc/projects/setiathome.berkeley.edu

Thank you for answering me.
Reinstalled the ports three times, and finally it started to get WU.
