Can't seem to get the gui manager running, keep getting a library mismatch error. I've compiled GCC 4.9 from source hoping it uses C++ ABI 1002 but i've got no clue how to link it with boincmgr.. Any bump in the right direction is appreciated, i'd rather not resort using the cli version. Running arch linux, x86_64

Install BOINC from Arch repositories?

Yeah tried pruging and reinstalling to no avail. Also tried the standalone client, same thing. Worst case scenario I write a bash script and use boinccmd but I'd much rather have a nice GUI. Would running the client in a virtualbox environment or chroot with xforwarding significantly reduce performance?

What kind of problem you had with the Arch version? And please don't say 'the same', it should be packaged differently.

As for the Berkeley version, you seem to have two problems:

Is that more than just a warning? Does the Manager crash or hang or in some other way completely refuse to co-operate? Quick search around the net suggests that this is a harmless warning.

execvp(/home/josh/boinc, --redirectio, --launched_by_manager) failed with error 2!
execvp(/home/josh/boinc, --redirectio, --launched_by_manager) failed with error 2!

And the other problem is that the Manager can't launch, or find, the client. Where BOINC is installed and how do you start it?

You're absolutely right, just a meaningless warning. After purging and reinstalling libssl/libcurl then doing the same with boinc i managed to get it running. Not sure if it was a dependency issue or my symlink was mucked up but at-least it's running. Thank you! I'm looking forward to asteroid hunting
