I have installed BOINC on Centos 6.5 and I am constantly getting SIGBUS errors. They usually look like this:

Exiting...
SIGBUS: bus error

I'm running Centos 6.5 and kernal info:

Linux LINUX1 2.6.32-431.11.2.el6.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Mar 25 19:59:55 UTC 2014 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Any ideas what could be causing these constant crashes?

Hi,

what version of BOINC and from where did you install? I have a CentOS 6.5 testserver where I can check this.

Regards
Christian

Version 7.3.15, downloaded from the BOINC site.

7.3.15 is a development version and so far superseded by 7.3.19 (which is also experimental!).

Please test again with 7.3.19 or the current stable 7.2.42

I've installed version 7.2.42 and now I get these errors:

./boinc: /usr/lib64/libssl.so.1.0.0: version `OPENSSL_1.0.0' not found (required by ./boinc)
./boinc: /usr/lib64/libcurl.so.4: no version information available (required by ./boinc)
./boinc: /usr/lib64/libcrypto.so.1.0.0: version `OPENSSL_1.0.0' not found (required by ./boinc)
./boinc: /lib64/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.15' not found (required by ./boinc)
./boinc: /lib64/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.14' not found (required by ./boinc)

Perhaps I'll have to compile from source based on some of the other messages I've seen on this board.

I just also downloaded 7.2.42 because I was wondering if a package is missing or so. It seems you/we have to build a version specific for Centos because of older libraries.

This is may ldd of the prebuild boinc client from Berkeley:

So now I'm building from source according to http://boinc.berkeley.edu/trac/wiki/CompileClient

Everything works fine until I get to the last make, where I get these errors:

cp ../../../stage//usr/local/bin/boincmgr BOINC/boincmgr
cp: cannot stat `../../../stage//usr/local/bin/boincmgr': No such file or directory
make: *** [BOINC/boincmgr] Error 1

I'm also building the client right now, but my build system is very slow. Just to make sure we are on the right page, I'm compiling the 7.2.42 client (not the manager) like this:

$ git checkout client_release/7.2/7.2.42
$ ./_autosetup
$ ./configure --disable-manager --disable-server
$ make

I'm currently running the make which may take some time.

I'm not building the manager because the system does not have wxwidgets or other needed libraries installed. It also has no XServer so the manager is not needed only the client.

Edit: my build finished succesfully I now have this for ldd ./client/boinc

Edit: same issue with --disable-manager.

So now I'm building from source according to http://boinc.berkeley.edu/trac/wiki/CompileClient

Everything works fine until I get to the last make, where I get these errors:

cp ../../../stage//usr/local/bin/boincmgr BOINC/boincmgr
cp: cannot stat `../../../stage//usr/local/bin/boincmgr': No such file or directory
make: *** [BOINC/boincmgr] Error 1

What I just recognized. You are saying "the last make", there is only one make to do unless you are running "make install" which is not on the page and also not really supported.

Edit: can you give me your exact commands so I can reproduce this a little bit better?

Yes, just realized that as well. I copied over the binaries and they appear to be working just fine, I've been able to attach to projects and everything.

Now hopefully this version will be more stable!
