I keep getting this message when I attempt to run the BOINC manager for Rosetta:

Message from server: platform '' not found.

I have read a variety of articles indicating this is because these project do not supply 64 bit apps and the way to get around it is to install 32 bit packages. I have done this, but still get this message.

I have also considered creating a custom app_info.xml file, but I am unsure what executable info name I should be placing in this file.

I have also attempted to install and run the most current version for 64 bit linux - 6.2-15, but when I attempt to run the client or manager, I get an error related to GLIBC_2.4. The BOINC help on this indicates I should install the newer version of libc, but I believe a newer version is only available under the "testing" version of Debian (lenny).

Any help would be much appreciated.

System info:
Debian Linux 64 bit "Etch" (stable)
BOINC manager 5.4.11 (installed using apt)
Intel Core Duo

Hi !
I have exactly the same problem.
It's strange, because this projet runs correctly on Win XP x64, with a client compiled for x64 architecture under Windows. That's not exist for Linux x64 ?... Strange....

Sorry for my poor english.

Help please :-)

Nobody ?

Sorry, duplicate post.

This is a well known bug in the Debian package. You can also use the offical BOINC client from boinc.berkeley.edu/download.php
