(moderation:
when I try to use the graphics with fedora Croe 2 this is what I get:
[yusuf@localhost einstein.phys.uwm.edu]$ ./einstein_4.69_i686-pc-linux-gnu
dlopen() failed: einstein_4.69_i686-pc-linux-gnu.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
No graphics.
Can't set up shared mem: -1

What do you need to do to get the graphics going for linux?
What do you do with the plugin in the / einstein.phys.uwm.edu/
directory?

)
The app _tries_ to link the .so (which, in turn, has certain dependencies compiled into it) to determine if graphics would work on your machine. In particular this requires an OpenGL graphics card and drivers for it (I think libGL.so etc.) available in the standard library path or LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment.
The "Can't setup shared mem" indicates that the app can't set up the communication with the boinc client, apparently because you are running the app without it. Running standalone the app requires quite a number of command line parameters. As these are missing, the app terminates immediatly.
To see if the graphics work you are better off running the core client and look into the messages in "stderr.txt" in the slots directory of the running app (usually BOINC/slots/0).
