My problem is somehow related to this thread, but not quite the same.
First of all:
leo:/opt/BOINC# uname -a
Linux leo 2.6.8-1-386 #1 Thu Nov 11 12:18:43 EST 2004 i686 GNU/Linux
leo:/opt/BOINC#
Not the most recent kernel, but not an \"old\" one either.
Boinc log shows the same kind of errors like in the other thread:

But the result page of one of these invalids shows this:
<core_client_version>5.2.14</core_client_version>
<message>process exited with code 127 (0x7f)

<stderr_txt>
classical_5.33_i686-pc-linux-gnu.exe: error while loading shared libraries: libglut.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
</stderr_txt>
Library libglut.so.3 is part of MESA Glut (link).
From that link:
Mesa-glut contains the GLUT (OpenGL Utility Toolkit) library.GLUT is a window system independent toolkit for writing small to medium-sized OpenGL programs. OpenGL is a Silicon Graphics, Inc., graphics utilities toolkit. Since Mesa (a graphics library) is very similar to OpenGL, OpenGL programs will work with Mesa.
All my Linux boxes are completely headless and run in console mode. Would it be possible to compile the linuc client without dependencies on mesa-glut? Or do I need to try to install it?

Trying to solve this myself, but no luck ... yet.
The distro is Debian, so I installed freeglut3.which provides libglut.so.3
The client still fails, now with a different error:
classical_5.33_i686-pc-linux-gnu.exe: error while loading shared libraries: libXmu.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Duh ... I do like problemsolving, but I hate to install (graphical) libraries which are never going to be used (my boxes are servers, not desktops) :-/
____________
/ - Solved, linux client up-and-running without errors :-)
most recent result
For anyone else bumping into these problems, I had to install both freeglut3 and libxmu6. Also restart boinc and eventually reset the project. And check the results (through the project webpages) for any messages, because the boinc client itself does not give many info ...

I had similar problems on some of my Gentoo boxes, emerged freeglut and that fixed it.

/ - I ran into the glut problem as well on my discless nodes.
Running ldd against the executable showed libglut.so.3 missing.
I downloaded libglut.so.3.7.0
http://dri.sourceforge.net/res/libglut.so.3.7.0
Copied it to /lib and created a symlink
ln -s libglut.so.3.7.0 libglut.so.3
ldd showed all libs available and the client now runs fine. :)

Can anyone point me in the right direction on where to get these files? I am running the 2.4.30 kernel and as others point out all workunits crash with the same error. All my other projects work fine on this box :( Any help would be greatly appreciated.

One can download the client code of Classical and compile it for BOINC in console mode and the use the anonymous platform to get work from the project.
By default I of course compile with graphics support for most people ;-).
Also as soon as a code update takes place, you need to download the latest version and recompile yourself too.

Your server reports \"platform \'anonymous\' not found\" and \"No work from project\" when I try this.. ;)

My distro is very stripped down and lightweight. I am not very familiar with doing any of what you mentioned. I just wonder why all the other 14 projects I run on this box work fine.

They either do no graphics, or have the OpenGL bits compiled in statically, which will give you poor graphical performance cause you probably cannot use hardware acceleration.
However, you can download the client app source code from this site, look at the make file and notice the DEFINES=-DUSE_GLUT_GRAPH_API line. If you change that to DEFINES=-DUSE_BOINC_API and recompile, you got a console client. For this to work you need to download the BOINC lib at berkely and compile/install that first on the box you are going to compile the client.
Furthermore, I\'ll have a look in the platform anonymous thing.

Well I never use graphics anyway. It\'s a headless machine and I only ssh onto it. I remember having a problem once at another project and I now recall a staff member compiling in some things statically since many people were having a problem using older kernels. Once they did that everything worked like a charm.

I recently ran into this problem again. You mailed a teammate (TigerWing) under whose account I\'m currently crunching. The earlier fixes I found apparantly weren\'t enough anymore. I had to install even more graphical soft I\'m never going to use, but which is needed by the Leiden app to be able to work. Simply put: software that depends on other software without necessarily using it, is crappy software. I\'m pretty sure the majority of linux users on this project don\'t run the graphical Leiden component.
Why you insist on having linux users install software most will never use, while other boinc projects don\'t require this, is beyond my comprehension. Simply because *you* want a graphical client app? In that case it\'s plain ignorance, and then maybe this project doesn\'t deserve the attention it currently gets?

Thanks PCZ , works for Me on My suse 10.2 's

/ - as an aside, tried the graphic window, opened ok, looked neat but wouldn't close.
____________
/ - Although I'm running a graphical Linux desktop,
I also would prefer that the Leiden client
only links to what is really essential.
Besides other convenience reasons,
it's just reasonable for security.
