Greetings Sparc fans,
I'm attempting to run the Solaris/Sparc SETI@Home/BOINC client on
my SS20. I don't have a system running Solaris from which I could
snag shared libraries but I do have a Solaris 8 install disk.
Unfortunately, I'm unsure of which libraries I need or where on
the CD they might be located. Looking through some of the archived
port-sparc posts I found a reference to an FTP server (run by Sun)
from which one could snag at least some of the core shared libs,
which I did:
#ls /emul/svr4/usr/lib
ld.so.1 libmp.so.1 nss_compat.so.1 nss_nis.so.1 straddr.so
libc.so.1 libmp.so.2 nss_dns.so.1 nss_nisplus.so.1 straddr.so.2
libdl.so.1 libnsl.so.1 nss_files.so.1 nss_user.so.1
libmp.so libsocket.so.1 nss_ldap.so.1 nss_xfn.so.1
The BOINC binary is from http://boinc.berkeley.edu/download.php ;
I've got it in /emul/svr4/usr/bin but it doesn't run:
#/emul/svr4/usr/bin/boinc_4.19_sparc-sun-solaris2.7
/emul/svr4/usr/bin/boinc_4.19_sparc-sun-solaris2.7: Exec format
error. Binary file not executable.
(it's mode is 755 so it should be executable)
# file /emul/svr4/usr/bin/boinc_4.19_sparc-sun-solaris2.7
/emul/svr4/usr/bin/boinc_4.19_sparc-sun-solaris2.7: ELF 32-bit MSB
executable, SPARC, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared
libs), not stripped
Does this look like I just need more libraries or something more?
The SETI site says the binary is for "Solaris versions 7, 8, 9,
or 10 ; any SPARC processor".
Regards,
Jeff
