Exiting...

My (debian) linux machine hadn't been updated in a while, so I did a blanket upgrade and then specifically upgraded libc6, libcurl, openssl, zlib, and even installed a "tls" package, whatever that is. My kernel is 2.6.12 if that matters and am planning to set up a new one at 2.6.17 soon.

Could anyone give me a few pointers to where I need to fix my system to get boinc running again? I even tried backpedalling to boinc 5.2.13 but that is doing it now too. Many thanks!
