Linux Problems Налаштування

Hello everybody,

I have been trying to get some work done on my Linux machines but so far ALL my WUs ended in an error.

One of the problem seems to be related to ZIP (Program not found) (this is one of the results).
After adding a symbolic link to gzip the errors changed to Signal 11 errors.

Has anyone successfully completed any work on Linux ?

BTW: I'm running 64Bit Linux only.

Regards,
Michael

Hi, mickydl*
As SLinCA-Yuri said, try to install the appropriate package, (eg unzip) from the repository of your Linux distribution.

Hi Yuriy V and SLinCA-Yuri,

Thanks for your responses.

I'm not sure that the ZIP problem is the real problem.

After I noticed the computation errors and saw the error message in the WU I linked to in my first post I checked for ZIP on my machines.
I don't currently have zip installed, but I do have gzip on my Linux machines. So in a first attempt to cure the problem I created a symbolic link named zip to gzip in the search path. The error messages of zip not being found are gone now. However, I get Signal 11 errors now (here is an example). I don't yet know if it happens at the end of a WU (and might still be related to the zip problem) or somewhere in the middle of a WU.

There might be different calling conventions for zip and gzip. What exactly do your applications need - zip and unzip ? what command line options do they need? Maybe there is a way to solve this without having to install new software.

Simply installing the right package for my distribution is difficult because I'm not using any distribution. The Linux is completely compiled from scratch (CLFS). So if there's no simple cure for the problem I'd have to compile the right programs from source. Although compiling is not really a problem, setting everything up correctly on my machines is quite some work (a small disk-less cluster booting over network). So I'm somewhat reluctant to to do it.

Dear Michael and Yuriy V,

thanks for your care!

Michael, you are right,
it seems to be that you (and we) are facing the famous problem,
described at BOINC official forum:
Process got signal 11
and
Process got signal 22
related with "32-bit binaries don't just work on every 64-bit Linux. If for example you install a fresh Ubuntu 6.10 or 7.04, 32-bit binaries won't work".

Thank you for your experiments!
During the next days (or 1 week) we will try to port application to 64-bit Linux and fix this problem.
In any case, we will try to compensate your efforts by quadruple credits for
discovering this problem and its roots.
In addition, we will try to compensate effort of all other users with NEWEST 64-bit Linux OSs by double credits,
who could not obtain credits for their work, because of this problem.


Best regards,
SLinCA-Yuri
