What happens if you install the Ubuntu version of the client software first?
http://boinc.berkeley.edu/wiki/Installing_BOINC_on_Ubuntu That'll install all the missing packages BOINC depends on, then the ones we build should work as well. ----- Rom -----Original Message----- From: boinc_dev [mailto:boinc_dev-boun...@ssl.berkeley.edu] On Behalf Of Stephen Maclagan Sent: Friday, October 18, 2013 6:01 PM To: boinc_dev@ssl.berkeley.edu Subject: [boinc_dev] Linux x64 7.0.65 and 7.2.23 builds unrunnable on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS The All downloads page say the linux builds are 'Tested on the current Ubuntu distribution' What is your definition of the current Ubuntu distribution? I've been running the 64bit Ubuntu 12.04 LTS on my C2D T8100 Laptop since feb this year, most of the time it has it's Windows 7 SSD fitted, every now and again i swap the SSD for the Ubuntu SSD, I tried unpacking the 7.0.65 Boinc earlier in the year, but couldn't get it to work, as a couple of packages were not available, so i ran the repository 7.0.65 build instead, i've now got rid of that, and want to run the 7.2.23 build, but it's still the same, Shouldn't these builds just work on a minimal install without needing packages that aren't available: stephen@stephen-SR700:~$ cd ~ stephen@stephen-SR700:~$ sh boinc_7.2.23_x86_64-pc-linux-gnu.sh use /home/stephen/BOINC/run_manager to start BOINC stephen@stephen-SR700:~$ cd ~/BOINC stephen@stephen- SR700:~/BOINC$ ./run_client --daemon ./boinc: error while loading shared libraries: libXss.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory stephen@stephen-SR700:~/BOINC$ ./run_manager . /boincmgr: error while loading shared libraries: libwx_gtk2u_html-2.8. so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory stephen@stephen-SR700:~/BOINC$ sudo apt-get install libXss.so.1 [sudo] password for stephen: Reading package lists...
