an lots more...
the source file is: seti_boinc-client-cvs-2004-07-11.tar.gz

Have you compiled boinc yet, and if so did you use the same main directory?

In the errors you've listed, I know some of the missing files will be found in the boinc part of things.

In the directory you intend to compile in, you should extract both the boinc-cvs file and the seti_boinc-client-cvs file. This will create 2 sub directories - boinc and seti_boinc. Compile in boinc to get the boinc client, then compile in seti_boinc to get the seti executable (then the seti executable can find the various boinc files it needs).

Thx for your help,
That's exactly what i've done, and I still get the same errors.
Now even worse, I can't build the boinc using the latest cvs.

argh

I just compiled the last nightly and the 3.20, both as downloaded, without any problems. What's the filename of the boinc cvs you are trying to compile and I'll see if I can get the same one to go.

Ok, I have managed to compile the 3.20 boinc. yeah,,,
but, when i try to compile seti_boinc:

OK, this is the one real problem that maybe I can help with - only because I have the same problem and have to adjust for it myself.

It seems that really recent versions of glibc have this problem for some unknown reason. To get around it, you'll have to delete the entire seti_boinc directory that you're working in and extract a new copy from the seti_boinc cvs file, then edit the following 2 files before you compile it again.

In the ~/seti_boinc/client/ directory open the file analyzeReport.cpp with a text editor. At the top of the file just above the first line starting #include..., add the following 2 lines, but note that you will have to change the parentheses that show on this page to less-than and greater-than signs when you type it into the file:

#include (stdlib.h)
#include (assert.h)

After this, in the same directory, open the file lcgamm.cpp and make the same changes to it. After this, you should be able to get past those errors.

Also note that if your boinc cvs extracted a directory named boinc_public that you created the boinc program in, you will have to change the name of that directory to simply boinc instead, as the seti_boinc will be looking for boinc instead of boinc_public.

First, check and make sure that there is a file named mysql.h in your ~/boinc/db/ directory where you compiled the boinc program, as that's the file it keeps tripping on here. If that file is intact and accessable, possibly you don't have the mysql_devel software installed on your system, but I wouldn't think you would have gotten even this far without that (it should have found that during the ./configure for the boinc program).

this is my boinc/db folder:

sun:/tmp/boinc/db# ls
Makefile Makefile.in boinc_db.h db_base.C init_db schema.sql
Makefile.am boinc_db.C constraints.sql db_base.h mysql.h
sun:/tmp/boinc/db#


as you can see I have the mysql.h

thanks ever so much dude for all your help.

> as you can see I have the mysql.h

What was the final thing that got it there?

> What was the final thing that got it there?

Well, I've copied the mysql file into the db folder of the setiboinc, then runned again the make.
and here it is :-)

Good, glad you got it going.
