Downloaded from BOINC site, installed by launching downloaded file.
But it refuses to work, complains about missed lib.
Where to get that lib? And why not included into BOINC pack?

[R@localhost ~]$
[R@localhost Documents]$ ./boinc_7.0.28_x86_64-pc-linux-gnu.sh
use /home/R/Documents/BOINC/run_manager to start BOINC

Normally to get missing libraries, you install them from your package manager. Berkeley BOINC is built on and tested against Ubuntu. To be adding all libraries to the client is not going to be useful, as these libraries need to be working with your distro. Adding all libraries for all possible distros out there, well, I hope you get the point that this is impossible.

Perhaps wise to check for other missing or misplaced libraries as well.

ldd boinc-client

and

ldd boinc-manager

That's el dee dee.

And how to get all those libs on CentOS ?

It's not my but CentOS package manager and I'm not familiar with it. So maybe someone can give direct instruction what to do to download these particular libs?

Perhaps Berkeley BOINC. Have you checked that the package manager doesn't contain a BOINC built for and on your CentOS?

The other point of view is CentOS 6.4 is incompatible with Boinc ;-)

Claggy

There is no BOINC package in CentOS repos.

Is it really required to build BOINC against latest libs that don't supported even in up to date distros ?
CentOS 6.4 is the latest CentOS AFAIK.

No, Claggy.
CentOS is OS. Application can run or don't run under particular OS. Lets will leave sense of incompatible word untouched.

And I don't want to start flaming here. I just need to install BOINC to test AP/MB linux ports. Nothing more.
Is it possible or not ?!

You missed the Wink.

You missed the Wink.

it's almost 4 AM and that damned BOINC doesn't run. So I'm not in corresponding state ;)

Perhaps that CentOS 6.4 is the latest CentOS, but that doesn't mean that it's completely up-to-date with drivers, applications, programs and libraries. No Linux is, as far as I know.

You can try to build BOINC with older libraries. But I disagree with your assessment that there is no BOINC under CentOS repositories. See here.

But why do you use a server version of Linux? isn't a user version, such as any of the Ubuntu branches, not easier to get to grips with?

---

No, thnaks.

But I disagree with your assessment that there is no BOINC under CentOS repositories. See here.

Thanks for links. I launched "Install applications" via GUI, entered BOINC (also tried boinc) and got nothing found. Hence I said no BOINC under CentOS.
If their search engine requires "boinc-client" and can't find "boinc"... well, then Linux even more unready to use than I thought :/

But why do you use a server version of Linux? isn't a user version, such as any of the Ubuntu branches, not easier to get to grips with?

Because initially I tried Ubuntu and was not able to install OpenCL-compatible AMD catalyst under it. There were some another issues. So I don't think now that Ubuntu is wise choice for anything.

From other side CentOS installation and Catalyst installation were qute straightforward. I already tested apps offline and they work OK on CentOS.
But now problem with BOINC itself arose... Looks like Linux constantly requires to fight with some incompatibilities ...

---

Yes. What will work on one Linux won't on another. Not much you can do about that, just shrug. Better than to stress about it (or flame us ;-)).

---

Apropos, you can test versions from http://rpmfind.net/linux/rpm2html/search.php?query=boinc-client, but as shown, none are specifically for Redhat Enterprise or CentOS

I*nstalled both client and manager packs.
They are BOINC 6.10.45.
Switched to advanced view (of course), attempt to attach to SETI@home.
Nothing happens when I select corresponding GUI menu item. No projects list appears, no error reported, just nothing.
