    Just a note for others to save you some research.

    After upgrading to this version I had to install libwxgtk2.8-0. Previous version worked fine so I assume it's a new requirement.

    I used:
    sudo apt-get install libwxgtk2.8-0 libwxbase2.8-0

    boinc 6.12.34 on Ubuntu 11.04

      I just tried to upgrade a Centos 5.5 system to 6.12.34

      I get an error that says libgio-2-0.so.0 doesn't exist and as far as I can tell it is not available for Centos 5. I'm not sure about Centos 6.

      So I went back to 6.10.58_x64 and I'm up and running.

      Does anyone know what the latest version I can run on Centos 5.5 is? Or even better where to get libgio for that system.

      My plan is to move the functions of that system to an Ubuntu server and then upgrade it to either Centos 6 or Ubuntu but there are years of sys admin tweaks and it is working so it's a fairly low priority.

        libgio is part of a newer version of glib2.

        http://www.gtk.org/download/linux.php

        If you upgrade glib2, you probably also want to upgrade associated packages including gtk+, pango, atk, gdk-pixpuf, and gimp if you have that package installed.

        You can also start the newer version of boinc without the GUI which will have less dependencies.

        ./run_client --allow_remote_gui_rpc

        run_client is a wrapper for the command boinc which has much less dependencies than boincmgr. --allow_remote_gui_rpc will let you access the system from a boinc manager on another system or via boincview.

          Thanks (again) Jeroen. Your replies are always helpful and informative, I appreciate that.

          I don't think I can get glib2 on Centos 5 without breaking a lot of things at least from what I've read so far. That system is on a sunset plan, hopefully I'll be able to wipe and reinstall by the end of the year. It also doesn't produce that many credits. So I'm not even going to try.

          I like the idea of updating the client but running the manager remotely. I'll give that a try.
