Hi DrLex, Ageless and all people here!
I'm using Debian Etch and have recently learned of BOINC. First I downloaded the last version, which asks for GLIBC_2.4. There is not such package in the Debian repositories so I tried with the previous version. The installation was OK but when I ran the boinc manager I came up against the same message as DrLex. So I deleted it all and tried downloading the last boinc packages from Debian. The same message appeared though. So it seems it had nothing to do with the version. Now, this is what I have come across:

From http://wiki.debian.org/BOINC Section 4.3.3, second paragraph, account creation:

$ boinc_cmd --create_account http://www.malariacontrol.net you@mail.com password username
$ boinc_cmd --create_account_poll
<some key printed>
$ boinc_cmd --project_attach http://www.malariacontrol.net <printed key>
$ boinc_cmd --project http://www.malariacontrol.net resume

I hope this will work in Gentoo and with any other project. It works in my box with http://climateprediction.net
