It seems that this doesn't run on RHEL/Centos 6.x

hi,

Try to do a:

ldd /var/lib/boinc/projects/boinc.multi-pool.info_latinsquares/odlk3_1.0_x86_64-pc-linux-gnu

using the position of the odlk3 program in your pc.

Maybe it could see if there are a broken dependencies.

Thanks

hi,

the problem is the different glibc library: GLIBC_2.14
Your version should be the old 2.12

As I assume you are using it as a server (so updating to CentOs 7.x is not a choice)

you could try to extract libc.so.6 from CentOs 7.x and put it inside on directory (e.g /opt/mylib)and then:

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/mylib/:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
/var/lib/boinc/projects/boinc.multi-pool.info_latinsquares/odlk3_1.0_x86_64-pc-linux-gnu

If this works maybe it is possible to make it run

yes thanks for the workaround tip.

just wondering if you have a fix for it. redhat 6.x is still supported. and not all can upgrade to redhat 7.x

I did not know if this works (as Boinc has the firmed executable), but you can try:

rename the executable as terminating with an extension like:

mv /var/lib/boinc/projects/boinc.multi-pool.info_latinsquares/odlk3_1.0_x86_64-pc-linux-gnu  /var/lib/boinc/projects/boinc.multi-pool.info_latinsquares/odlk3_1.0_x86_64-pc-linux-gnu.exe

create a new file:

nano /var/lib/boinc/projects/boinc.multi-pool.info_latinsquares/odlk3_1.0_x86_64-pc-linux-gnu

and insert:

#!/bin/bash
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/mylib/:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
/var/lib/boinc/projects/boinc.multi-pool.info_latinsquares/odlk3_1.0_x86_64-pc-linux-gnu.exe

make this executable:

chmod +x /var/lib/boinc/projects/boinc.multi-pool.info_latinsquares/odlk3_1.0_x86_64-pc-linux-gnu

Then look if computation in boinc is working.

hi. thanks for the workaround. i know how to around this.

my concern is for all those who are still using redhat/centos/scientific linux 6.X.

will there be a be a permanent fix for this. or just a workaround? not everybody can upgrade to version 7.x
