I am unable to run boincmgr on my fedora core 4. I have installed the latest version of boinc for linux.

Two problems:

a) when i start the boincmgr, I get these messages: connect: Connection refused
connect: Connection refused
execvp(/boinc) failed with error 2!

b) The gui anyway comes up - but when i enter a new project and say OK, nothing really happens! (BTW, there is no copy/paste for the key, which is quite *lame*)

Any help is greatly appreciated!!! My linux system's config:
Linux 2.6.11-1.1369_FC4 #1

You need first start BOINC, the boincmgr is only a graphical fontend, which connects to the running boinc client.

thanks for ur reply - i figured that out after going through some documentation. however, the mgr still doesnt seem to work - it just freezes. i ended up using kboincspy, which works smoothly!

I would like to try kboincspy, and I'm also running FC4.
Which package did you apply? The only fc4 package I can see is an x86_64, but I'm still on a 32 bit machine...
