      Did you get the download from a place like this one:
      http://boinc.berkeley.edu/dev/forum_thread.php?id=6698&nowrap=true#43938

      If not it could be damaged. That is the extent of my Linux knowledge, sorry.

        I am still using BOINC 6.10.58 on my 2 boxes with SuSE Linux 12.1 and 12.2 because 7.0.28 does not work on them.

          Sounds like it's having a problem picking a shell to open the program with. Try "sh boinc7.0.28...." on the command line (or "open with other applications" and select "/bin/sh").

            7.0.60 is the newest Beta and they are hoping it will become the next release version.

              Thanks to everyone. Seems best to wait for updates from Linux and/or BOINC to solve the problem.
