What can I do against it? I tried to start seti WITH "setiathome_SSE-naparst-r3.4" in the directory and without. No difference. TBH: I'm not really sure how I can bring this cliet to work but I am sure it can work because a friend of mine does it.

It is a 64 bit gentoo linux dual opteron...

Thanks!

This message pops up now and again, best thing is to leave it alone for a while and it will get work eventually.
Leave the optimised app in the projects/setiathome.berkeley.edu directory along with app_info.xml.
Just give it some time.

Hi thanks for your answer. What i did is this:

I downloaded the 64 bit boinc client. Then I executed it with "./boinc_client -attach_project http://setiathome.berkeley.edu WHATEVERMYKEYIS" and attached it to the BOINC project. Then I stopped it and copied setiathome_SSE-naparst-r3.4 in the /projects/setiathome.berkeley.edu/ folder. There is only the "setiathome_SSE-naparst-r3.4" and no app_info.xml...

How can I start the blank BOINC with the folder because normaly it does not exist?

This is my /BOINC/ folder:
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4.0K Feb 6 17:25 .
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4.0K Feb 6 15:46 ..
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2.6K Feb 6 17:21 account_setiathome.berkeley.edu.xml

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 424 Feb 6 17:21 statistics_setiathome.berkeley.edu.xml

And this is the last entry in the log:
2006-02-06 17:21:13 [SETI@home] Successfully attached to SETI@home

I started boinc this way: "./boinc_client >>boinc.log 2>&1 &"


Maybe my "procedure" is totally wrong? =)

Thx!

You need an app_info.xml file in the same directory as the "setiathome_SSE-naparst-r3.4" otherwise boinc tries to download an matching app from S@H which obviously doesn't exits.
