I installed the newest ubuntu linux, 8.10 x64 version.
When I install BOINC and attach Einstein@home, it downloads everything but keep results compute error at calculation.
Is there anyone with same situation? It never happened in older ubuntu that I used to use.

I',m having a trouble at running Einstein@home at ubuntu.

You'll have to install the 32 bit compatibility libs.
sudo apt-get install ia32-libs
(at least I think that's right, I'm not well versed in apt-get being a Fedora person)

Thank you. I thought

Thank you. I thought Einstein@home supports 64bit.
I'll try to install ia32 library.

Dirk, could you report back here and tell us if installing ia32-libs solves your problem, please? And is the sudo apt-get install ia32-libs command the correct command? The reason I ask is because I want to document the fix in the wiki. I think Kathryn probably gave you the correct command but I would like someone to verify it. I run just Fedora, no Ubuntu here, so I can't verify it myself.
Also, if you are in doubt about whether any binary is 32 bit or 64 bit, run the file command on it. For example, in my /home/dagorath/BOINC/projects/einstein.phys.uwm.edu directory, there are 3 binaries (executables) from Einstein plus several other data files, compressed files, etc. If I open a terminal and change directory to /home/dagorath/BOINC/projects/einstein.phys.uwm.edu and do "file *", that runs the file command on each of the files. This is the output:
You can also run the file commmand on individual files by typing the filename instead of the *.

Any news on fix?

See Installing on Linux: 64 bit considerations. There is a list of packages that install 32 bit compatibility libraries. Each project seems to require slightly different 32 bit compatibility libraries. As far as I can tell, the first package in the list seems to work for most people and for most projects. If the first one in the list doesn't cure the problem then try installing the others. It won't hurt to install all of them.
