I looked around for any previous posting of this simple bit of info, but found none here, so I'll post it here, having found it on a message board at the BOINC site.

When attempting to run BOINC on a 64-bit UBUNTU or KUBUNTU install (7.04 or 7.10) you will need to get the "ia32-libs" package installed, like this:

sudo apt-get install ia32-libs

After doing that, there will appear various things like /lib/ld-linux.so which will make your life easy again. (I like this apt-get thing ...)

All the best. (If this is already documented here I apologize for wasting bandwidth!)
