But look at the last two lines. Is there anything I can do about this?

Have you compiled the SETI application, too ? - If not, you need to compile the SETI application, or download it from the third party site : boinc.berkeley.edu/download_other.php. Stefan Urbat has a complete package for PPC Linux. |

I compiled it too get it installed, so its up and running but i think because it says: Sun Jan 21 15:46:04 2007|SETI@home|Message from server: platform 'powerpc64-unknown-linux-gnu' not found Sun Jan 21 15:46:04 2007|SETI@home|No work from project As far as the "Stefan Urbat has a complete package for PPC Linux" is concerned I tried those first and they wont run. If it helps I am running Gentoo and I compiled it using emerge -v boinc which compiles and installs the package because there was no pre-compiled binary. edit: On second look are you saying other than Boinc I need to compile seti its self? |

I compiled it too get it installed, so its up and running but i think because it says: You need the BOINC client and the SETI application, too. Also you need to place a app_info.xml in the directory projects/setiathome.berkeley.edu/. The project did not offer binaries for other platforms directly from the server, so a manual installation with the app_info.xml is needed.
Hm, why did Stefan's package not run ? - Is this a problem with the Cell architecture ? If this would not run, you need to compile it yourself. There was also a thread in the number crunching forums some time ago about this toppic. |

I'm pretty sure it has something to do with how I was trying to run it(linux novice). I can get around in linux but im not extremly fluent in it. So since my last post I have gone back and compiled setiathome and a earlier boinc which was required for the setiathome package. I just seem to be running into a problem with getting boinc to talk to localhost says i am not giving the correct password but I got past this last night by a reboot but not the case tonight... Edit: Got boinc gui to sync with the process finally and these are the results im getting. 2007-01-21 21:08:35 [SETI@home] Sending scheduler request to http://setiboinc.ssl.berkeley.edu/sah_cgi/cgi 2007-01-21 21:08:35 [SETI@home] Reason: Requested by user 2007-01-21 21:08:35 [SETI@home] Requesting 17280 seconds of work, returning 0 results 2007-01-21 21:08:36 [SETI@home] Scheduler request to http://setiboinc.ssl.berkeley.edu/sah_cgi/cgi succeeded 2007-01-21 21:08:36 [SETI@home] Message from server: platform 'powerpc64-unknown-linux-gnu' not found 2007-01-21 21:08:37 [SETI@home] Started download of arecibo_181.png 2007-01-21 21:08:37 [SETI@home] Started download of sah_40.png 2007-01-21 21:08:38 [SETI@home] Finished download of arecibo_181.png 2007-01-21 21:08:38 [SETI@home] Throughput 83591 bytes/sec 2007-01-21 21:08:38 [SETI@home] Finished download of sah_40.png 2007-01-21 21:08:38 [SETI@home] Throughput 9552 bytes/sec 2007-01-21 21:08:38 [SETI@home] Started download of sah_banner_290.png 2007-01-21 21:08:38 [SETI@home] Started download of sah_ss_290.png 2007-01-21 21:08:39 [SETI@home] Finished download of sah_banner_290.png 2007-01-21 21:08:39 [SETI@home] Throughput 50119 bytes/sec 2007-01-21 21:08:39 [SETI@home] Finished download of sah_ss_290.png 2007-01-21 21:08:39 [SETI@home] Throughput 54589 bytes/sec thats it. does nothing else. |

You need to use the app_info.xml : http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/sah_porting.php Stop the BOINC client, create and edit the app_info.xml and copy it to $BOINCDIR/projects/setiathome.berkeley.edu. Start the BOINC client with "./boinc -update_prefs http://setiathome.berkeley.edu". |

A volunteer has ported the SETI application to Linux on PS3. The application uses the SPEs and have a good performance. Please look at this thread : http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/forum_thread.php?id=39910 Btw. SIMAP has applications for PS3 on Linux, too, and PS3Grid is a BOINC based project with binaries only for the PS3. |
