Thanks for the tip. I've installed 5.10.28 but unfortunately it didn't help.

Not even Vista is fully supported by BOINC yet, can't expect Leopard to be supported two days after its release.


Well, I didn't really. Just passing on my observations to people who might want to know ;)

Can you give exact version numbers for the one you had (that didn't work at all), and the one you upgraded to?


The version I'm using now is 5.10.20, the current release version. Unfortunately I didn't think to take a note of the previous one, but it was the most recent release version in early May '07.

One other thing - the cc on the mac gives me this problem, but when I use the mac boincmgr to check out the cc on my linux machine I don't get any problems. The linux boinc version is 5.8.15.

I've just upgraded my MacBook Pro (Intel) to OS 10.5 (Leopard). I had to install the latest version of Boinc to get it to work (the one I had before dated from about May this year), and it does work now, but inelegantly.

The problem is that when I hit the update button, it's slow to respond and it gives me the "spinning beach ball" cursor indicating that the program is not responding. This lasts for up to 30s, every time, during which time I can't do anything else in Boinc. It's not a big deal but it is annoying.

FYI I'm attached to einstein, seti and rosetta on this machine.

Edit: sorry, I just realised there's another forum for Boinc Manager. Then again, I'm not sure whether this problem relates more to that or to the core client.

Nope, this is not supported due to the extra load on the project's servers generated.


According to the official documentation it is supported.

You just need to start the CC with the -return_results_immediately command-line option.

I don't know whether it works.
