Hey,
I have installed boinc on PowerPC 64 bits server under debian sarge linux.
When I try to connect to a project, I receive :

[World Community Grid] Message from server: platform 'powerpc-unknown-linux-gnu' not found
2006-05-04 10:48:34 [World Community Grid] Successfully attached to World Community Grid
2006-05-04 10:48:39 [World Community Grid] Deferring communication with project for 23 hours, 59 minutes, and 54 seconds

I have that problem with WCG and SETI...
Is it a BOINC problem or a "project" problem ?
how to solve it ?

thanks

It's a project specific problem. I don't know if WCG has a powerpc science application, but Seti may have. Otherwise check for it through a 3rd party person or compile it yourself.

thanks for your help,
I did not find ANY project on BOINC accepting PowerPc as platform :-(

seems all projects are only x86 and x86-64 oriented

If you're compiling yourself, use a different name for it, so that it matches the Linux name on the project(s) that interest you.
