Greetings,

I have just installed boinc and for the first time am attempting to use it. I'm getting the following output:

2005-03-15 04:41:12 [Einstein@Home] Message from server: platform 'sparc-sun-solaris2.7' not found
2005-03-15 04:41:12 [Einstein@Home] Can't parse general preferences
2005-03-15 04:41:12 [Einstein@Home] Can't parse general preferences
2005-03-15 04:41:12 [Einstein@Home] Project prefs: no separate prefs for home; using your defaults

Then, boinc just hangs, Can anyone let me know what is going on? If it matters, I'm actually on Solaris 8 (or 2.8), not 2.7.

Thanks!
Lane Maxwell

E@H does not currently support Solaris.

I think someone might be working on a port, maybe Bernd will comment.
