The Linux SMP client is owning me.

Ok, first, it's important to note I'm a complete Linux noob. I just installed Ubuntu and have been playing with it, but I want to get the SMP client running.

I'm following all the directions on Stanford's site.. got the files into the directory, but when I try to run the client (using ./fah5) it says there is no such file or directory.

So I'm lost.. any ideas would be helpful.

Thanks!
 
I had the same problem with Ubuntu. I'm not skilled in Linux either. I don't know how to fix it unless you do what I did....switch to Suse. After that, everything worked just as it was supposed to.
 
Every post I have seen where someone has had a problem with SMP it has been on Ubuntu. I have it running on SUSE and Fedora and both are fine.
 
I don't have a clue about Linux either, but I managed to get the SMP client running on Ubuntu 6.06LTS (Dapper Drake) just by following the directions at the bottom of the SMP FAQ.

default ubuntu install is missing some 32bit stuff that f@h SMP client needs. easy to fix tho.

sudo apt-get install ia32-libs

cheers

Not if you use Ubuntu 6.06LTS (Dapper Drake), like I mentioned. The issue you mentioned occurs with 6.10 (Edgy Eft).

Yes it is only edgy that it applies to. but I am assuming that is what he is using. And simply installing that package will fix his issue.
 
For a folding machine, I'm not sure why people feel the need to run the beta SMP client on what amounts to a beta version of the Ubuntu OS. :confused:

Why not run it on the stable release of Ubuntu? ;)

Or am I missing something? :confused:

Thanks for the help guys..

I am using 6.10, I thought it was the newest stable release?

That PC is currently disassembled right now though, installing water cooling (lower temps = higher clocks = more folding power FTW).

I'll try that command when I get it up and running again. If that doesn't work I'll try 6.06 or another Distro.

Thanks again!
 
Can someone (looks at [BRO]Alaskan) tell me how to get the SMP client running as a service in OpenSuse 10.2?

thanks in advance.

ps.: preferred under a second account.
 
I had problems on Fedora Core 5 x64.

For some reason mpiexec was extracted to my home directory and not my FAH directory, moved that.
Also had to install the 32bit compatability libraries.

As root:
Ubuntu: #apt-get install ia32-libs
Arch Linux: #pacman -Sy lib32-glibc
Fedora: #yum -y install compat-libstdc++-33
Gentoo: emul-linux-x86-compat and emul-linux-x86-baselibs
 
I'm running Ubuntu 64 and I am having problems as well. I ran the finstall script, but when i do ./folding start it says there is no such file or directory. What do I need to do to get this running? Their FAQ and wiki wasn't much help.

Which user account ran that script? Can you do:
Code: 
cd ~
ls -l
as that user?
