1) Message boards : Server programs : [File_xfer] Temporary failed download of.... http error (Message 11296)

Think I may have found a (partial) solution, well to my particular woes anyway (although it kind of conflicts with the documentation):

My server didn't seem to like the idea of having multiple applications, in other words, any applications other than the one that was setup with the make_project script. So I associated my executable with the original application, and it worked. Although I know this shouldn't be the case.

And also, if anyone has the problem of 'Reason: The project is down', then the feeder has failed to start (properly), to the tune of [see feeder.log]:

2007-06-26 19:28:20.3899 [CRITICAL] result [RESULT#19] has bad appid 4; clean up your DB!
[2007/06/26 19:36:35] Executing command: feeder -d 3

Doing a clean-out of workunits seems to clear this up.

Hi,

Still waiting to be excepted to the mailing list... But anyway, I'm having trouble downloading and executing my applications on the boinc client. My application fails to download ala:

[file_xfer] Started download of file basic_1.0_i686-pc-linux-gnu.exe

[file_xfer] Temporarily failed download of basic_1.0_i686-pc-linux-gnu.exe: http error

Backing off 16 min 49 sec on download of file basic_1.0_i686-pc-linux-gnu.exe

To sum it up, I'm at a loss.

Would appreciate any help thanks,
Neil.

I think the solution to this is to remove (if you have it) <locality_scheduling/> from your config.xml. No new stuff will be downloaded otherwise it seems.

Hi,

A couple of people on this message board have had the same problem as me, but the question doesn't seem to have been answered. I've tried subscribing to the mailing list, but I never got a confirmation email.

So if anyone know why a workunit would be accepted by the server, but would fail to be downloaded by the client, could you let me know?

I managed to create successful workunits using bin/create_work, but now the c++ API fails to create a downloadable workunit, even though the server accepts it. The 'outcome' for the Result as is in the database stays at INIT if that gives anything away.

Would appreciate any help,
Thanks,
Neil.
6) Message boards : Server programs : Building graphics libraries: cannot locate -lglut (Message 10919)

Found the solution! Well, was told the solution to be more honest.

Seems as if there's a little prob/bug with the configure script: when searching for glut libraries, the script looks for lglut AND lglut32. Is this a windows library? Anyway just commenting lglut32 out seems to fix the problem.

Take it ham and cheesy.

Hi,

I'm trying re-install Boinc so that the graphics API libraries and headers are available, i.e. re-building Boinc with OpenGL, GLUT etc.

But although -lglut is definitely present in my /usr/lib, ./configure in the boinc download directory doesn't locate -lglut.

I even wrote my own program using GLUT code and having to have to link to -lglut while compiling.. which was successful! So I don't know what the problem Boinc has with finding it, especially considering that it can find -lGU and -lGLU in the same directory.

Here's the output from Boinc configure:

checking for OpenGL library... -lGL
checking for OpenGL Utility library... -lGLU
checking for main in -lXmu... yes
checking for main in -lXi... yes
checking for GLUT library... no
configure: WARNING:
================================================================================
WARNING: Development libraries and headers ("-dev") of {openGL, GLU, glut} needed!

The GL, GLU and glut libraries are required in order to build the graphical parts
of the BOINC application API library.

==> only building non-graphical parts of the BOINC API Library for now.

HINT: on MacOS X/Darwin you might consider running configure with the option
'./configure --with-apple-opengl-framework'
in order to use the Mac-native openGL framework

================================================================================


I'd very much appreciate any help on this, because as usual it's one of those problems that wastes two days of your time, or rather shortens your life by two days. Cheers.

Neil.
