Hello Bob -

Yep.. looks like I missed a bunch.

I'll have to thread through that web page to find the sources. Thanks.

Was looking at the system activity log and wondered why activity was around .01. Now I know; the seti client hasn't been receiving any work since around June 7!

Looks like I missed an update. Or several. Or a LOT.

The target computer is an UltraSparc-10 with gcc 3.4.6 . Ouch. Last fiddled with September 2006.

There's a client available for Solaris 8. According to that site, it was compiled with GCC 4.0 . Do I need to install 4.0 into the target computer so that the client will run?

This sounds like a massive effort; like near every tool in /usr/local/bin will need recompiling.

Thanks.

Thanks.

Hello -

Appended below is a chunk of text output by boinc on launch. boinc downloads a pile of PNG files.. then no work units.

I've reset boinc. I've detached from the project. I've reinstalled the boinc software. But no work units appear.

Two weeks? Is there a verbose switch in the Solaris 8 boinc client for outputting more information as to what's going on? Prior to two weeks ago, everything was working fine. Now? Nothing.

Help?

(please pardon the line wrap)

No work units on the UltraSparc-10 since last weekend. It keeps saying "requesting work".. but none arrives.

Any available?
