Just moved to Mandriva 2011_x64. Downloaded the _x64 version of BOINC but when I start it, it can't find libnotify.so.1 So, I located this file and found it in /usr/lib64, and added that to my PATH, but BOINC still can't "find" it. Does BOINC search for files in Path?
TIA

Sorry - can't read: the file that is available is libnotify.so.4. Can I set a symbolic link from ....so.4 to ....so.1?

Downloaded the _x64 version of BOINC

Which version?
Where did you download it from, Berkeley or your repositories?

Dagorath,
Thanks for your input. Looking at the Download page I found there was an earlier version, 6.10.58, which I have successfully downloaded and started, so I am back in business.
Regards
Graeme
