I built and installed boinc client with Debian sources.
The client is running, but when a request is sent this error is the response:

2005-12-13 14:29:16 [SETI@home] Message from server: platform 'x86_64-pc-linux-gnu' not found

The system is Debian etch,
Kernel 2.6.12-1-amd64-k8
Boinc Manager 5.2.13
gcc (GCC) 4.0.3

What can I do to get WUs?

Thanks.

Don

You must dowload a standard seti app or download one from the third party site (boinc.berkeley.edu/download_other.php) or compile it by your self.

If you compile it your self, you have to compute the reference WU, and verify if your results are in a valid range.
Some compiler flags cause invalid math. So the results will not be validated.

Also you must use the anyonymous platform mechanism( http://boinc.berkeley.edu/anonymous_platform.php), that the boinc client use your own binaries.
