Initial public release - Rev-2.2B Linux science apps

[Simon]

Hi folks,

I recompressed the R-2.2B Linux apps, this time I'm positive they're all what they pretend to be

I've uploaded these new archives in place of the old ones; the links remain the same.

As Douglas Adams put it so well in the HHGTTG - "Sorry for the inconvenience.".

Static apps may come sometime later; the platform we used for compilation is Suse 9.2.

compilator:~ # gcc -v
Reading specs from /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i586-suse-linux/3.3.4/specs
Configured with: ../configure --enable-threads=posix --prefix=/usr --with-local-prefix=/usr/local --infodir=/usr/share/info --mandir=/usr/share/man --enable-languages=c,c++,f77,objc,java,ada --disable-checking --libdir=/usr/lib --enable-libgcj --with-gxx-include-dir=/usr/include/g++ --with-slibdir=/lib --with-system-zlib --enable-shared --enable-__cxa_atexit i586-suse-linux
Thread model: posix
gcc version 3.3.4 (pre 3.3.5 20040809)

YaST says glibc-2.3.3 is installed, 2.3.2 may also work, anything newer definitely should.

Simon.

Okay,

static apps may come a little more quickly; in fact, I've just updated the downloads yet again.

That is to say, I used the same process as with the 1.3 app releases: a "statified" app. That means, it is fully static as far as Linux is concerned, it just wasn't compiled that way.

http://statifier.sf.net is what I used; seemed to work well enough last time

So - any new downloads will get the static ones. Anyone who needs them, please redownload. Also, I did make sure the archives are valid this time

Regards,
Simon.

nice work Simon, I also had a couple of machines that complained.
And well done to the team

ditto! : )

Thanks for the statics, I also had a few problems with one machine, but that should solve it.

Really appreciate the time you put into these.

Howdy all,
     A note that I'm getting errors trying to run the new Linux 2.2B apps.  They won't work on multiple RHEL3 and RHEL4 boxes.  I get errors with some note about "Signal 11"  I've tried SSE3 P4, SSE2 P4, and SSE2 generic.  I've tried with systems using both BOINC 5.4.11 and 5.8.15.

     The SSE3 P4 app does work on one RHEL4 x86_64 bit OS box.  Using Augustine's 64 bit BOINC 5.8.15.

     I've been able to use the SSE3 app that Crunch3r posted over on the Seti message board with RHEL4 boxes (32bit OS).

Hope this is helpful info for tracking down the fixes.  This is my first post so I'd like to properly thank Simon, Crunch3r and Hans Dorn for this new Linux port, and of course also thanks to the original optimizer crew of Ben Herndon, Josef Segur, Alex Kan, and again Simon.  I've been using the optimized code on Linux and Windows for a while now and getting significant speed enhancement.

Cheers, Chris

Thanks for the note.  I have tried Crunch3r's apps, and they work on RHEL4 systems, but they do not work on RHEL3.  Neither  do statified Simon's -- those segfault with error -11.

So far, no solution for 2.4 kernels with 2.3.2 GLIBC libraries it seems.
