(moderation:
Today, I created an account at E@H, downloaded the software boinc_4.43_i686-pc-linux-gnu.sh and issued the command sh boinc_4.43_i686-pc-linux-gnu.sh. A directory BOINC was created with som files in it. I switched to that directory and run ./run_client. After about a minute the program got stuck with the following lines on the screen:
ROSHOME:/home/ros/BOINC> ./run_client

I could exit it with Ctrl-c, but it obviously did not finish correctly. What I'm doing wrong?

You have two options:
(1) Run on the command line, and attach to the project. See command line args, but
use http://einstein.phys.uwm.edu/ and your account key.
(2) Run both the client and the client GUI (you need to be running X-windows). Do:
cd /home/ros/BOINC
./boinc &
./boincmgr &
A window should pop up. Use the PROJECTS->ATTACH TO NEW PROJECT button.
