The segmentation fault you are getting shows that something is wrong with either the program you are using or the system. There may be some small difference (especially the way your system uses memory) that the program doesn't like. Also I notice that you don't have any virtual memory at all. With 500 megs main memory it's not too important but it might help if you had a couple hundred virtual. Don't know if it would help this application or not. If you are able to compile a program I suggest getting the source for it and compile it yourself. That way it is sure to run. You may have a slightly incompatable library or something, but if you compile it yourself you will know that it is using exactly the libraries, etc. that you have. If you can't compile from the source, you might try to find a different version to see if that helps. Make sure it is compiled for the version of freebsd that you have, and you have all of the proper libraries.

/edit/ BTW, there is a lot of information on this in the "number crunching" forum under Linux Q&A.

I have a Question:

Can BOINC 5.2.15 run/support in FreeBSD 6.1-PRERELEASE now ?
---> [ Message from server: platform 'i386-portbld-freebsd6.1' not found ]


And Thanks.

You have got to compile the seti app, too. There are no offical seti binaries for FreeBSD. At the the third party site (boinc.berkeley.edu/download_other.php) are FreeBSD ports for seti available.

Here you will find further informations : http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/sah_porting.php
