I've built BOINC with no problems, but I hit an error on seti@home:

"readwu.cpp:47:20: error: export.h: No such file or directory"

followed by a bunch of symbols not found. A client is created, but it fails with an error:
"2016-11-12 20:20:50 [SETI@home] Unrecoverable error for result 02fe16aa.4639.5801.15.42.80.vlar_2 (process exited with code 193 (0xc1))"
Figured I might as well get the build working cleanly, since I don't have much insight into what that error means.

I see that others have hit this error on old forum posts, but don't see any resolutions.

I installed the packages for kernel headers, libtao, and libidl-dev to try to fix this, but no luck.

Is export.h is part of, or generated by IDL? That's why I was trying those IDL packages, even though I've never seen them in a list of dependencies for BOINC or SETI@Home.

My source tree is a few months old (I've been trying this that long) - The client reports 8.0.0.

Thanks for any ideas!

Also, I've seen this from a failed WU run:
cat stderr1.txt
18:12:20 (20848): Can't open init data file - running in standalone mode
18:12:20 (20848): Can't open init data file - running in standalone mode
SETI@home error -5 Can't open file
(work_unit.sah) in read_wu_state() errno=2

File: worker.cpp
Line: 135

The mention of "read_wu" made me think the earlier build error with readwu.cpp might be important.

I'm about convinced that the export.h error is nothing to worry about. (Really only need to "make" from the client directory.)

As for the runtime error, I learned how to run the reference WU, and that crashes too, so will work from there.
