Cannnot execute binary?
Hi,
This seems like it should be a common question but I guess I can't quite form the right google query to give me any meaningful results. I am trying to install Setiathome/boinc under ubuntu for PPC so off I go to the Seti site which links me to an external source for the client, I've un tar'd the original download leaving me with the below file structure: .: boinc_4.27-powerpc-unknown-linux-gnu projects ./projects: setiathome.berkeley.edu ./projects/setiathome.berkeley.edu: app_info.xml setiathome-4.7.powerpc-unknown-linux-gnu So by the looks of it to a newbie I'd somehow run boinc_4.27....-gnu so I try the below command and get the error back cannot execute binary file. bill@bill:~$ sudo sh ./boinc_4.27-powerpc-unknown-linux-gnu Password: ./boinc_4.27-powerpc-unknown-linux-gnu: ./boinc_4.27-powerpc-unknown-linux-gnu: cannot execute binary file Hopefully one of you nice people will be able to point this stupid windows user in the right direction? Thanks in advance Bill |
Forgot to say I've changed the permissions to the boinc file to 777.

Are you sure you downloaded the right file? Can you give the address?
I'm not on ppc but the file I got was named boinc_5.2.13_i686-pc-linux-gnu.sh and I just did: sh -x ./boinc_5.2.13_i686-pc-linux-gnu.sh and it unpacked to the current directory along with instructions how and what to run... |

Hi,
Thanks for the quick response! http://boinc.berkeley.edu/download_other.php linked me to http://www.lb.shuttle.de/apastron/boincDown.shtml for Linux/PPC I then donwloaded the archive in this section - http://www.lb.shuttle.de/apastron/bo...n.shtml#gnuppc. (boinc_seti_ppc7450_linux.tar.bz2) Bill |
Got it running!
I was messing around and accidently missed out the sh from the command so it was 'sudo ./boinc_4.27-powerpc-unknown-linux-gnu' and it worked! Now I just need to find out about the error I'm getting from that, off to the Seti forums I guess ;-) This is what I did: bill@bill:~/boinc$ sudo ./boinc_4.27-powerpc-unknown-linux-gnu 2006-02-12 00:56:22 [---] Starting BOINC client version 4.27 for powerpc-unknown-linux-gnu 2006-02-12 00:56:22 [---] No general preferences found - using BOINC defaults 2006-02-12 00:56:22 [---] GUI RPC bind failed: -1 2006-02-12 00:56:22 [---] GUI RPC bind failed: -1 gstate.init() failed: -180 Thanks for your help!

:) one needs to know how to tackle this obstacle - did not know about this limit, sorry
when I run Code:
file ./boinc-5.2.14.powerpc-unknown-linux-gnu ./boinc-5.2.14.powerpc-unknown-linux-gnu: ELF 32-bit MSB executable, PowerPC or cisco 4500, version 1 (SYSV), for GNU/Linux 2.2.5, dynamically linked (uses shared libs), stripped I suppose this is the executable and you use it just like any program: if it is in your PATH - you just type the programs name if it is not in your PATH - you type the PATH to it and then the name from whithin the directory it created when unpacking it this would be: Code:
./boinc-5.2.14.powerpc-unknown-linux-gnu |
