Hi
I've been running boinc 4.71 without a problem on fedora core 4. I just installed boinc 4.72, and although the client is running fine, boinc manager won't open.

thanks

Tom

do this for me. I assume you are using a GUI to open boincmgr, correct? If you are, then open a terminal window, cd to the boinc directory, and type ./boincmgr and see if you get a list of errors.

i am having a similar problem on my Debian machine with 4.72. i would click on the boincmgr icon and got nothing. I did the above steps and get the following list of errors.

Debian:/usr/BOINC# ./boincmgr >> boincmgrerror.log

Perhaps we are having the same problem.

I reinstalled boinc 4.72 and once again confirmed that boincmgr does not open. I went ahead and called ./boincmgr on a terminal and got an error message that repeated many times:
calledSIGABRT: abort calledSegmentation fault

the part of that message that repeated so much was "calledSIGABRT: abort

I have no idea what it means, I'm reverting back to 4.71
