[elrepo] Announcement: EL5 New ATI (fglrx) drivers now available for testing

[gilesaj]

 Hi Phil,

I am not very good with Linux and I do not know how to do "Can you try creating 
a symlink from /usr/lib{64} to it and see if that 

fixes the issue."

There is a 32 and 64 bit version of BOINC and I loaded the 64 bit version 
(boinc_6.10.58_x86_64-pc-linux-gnu.sh)

The error message is on the result of the work unit on the projects web page.  
the following is the full message:


<core_client_version>6.10.58</core_client_version>
<![CDATA[

When I loaded the drivers all I ran was "yum --enablerepo=elrepo-testing install 
kmod-fglrx" and it loaded the 64 bit version.  How would I load the 32 bit as 
well and use the 64 bit version ?

This is from your original post where you wanted the result of  ldd 
/usr/bin/glxgears

[root at coopers ~]# ldd /usr/bin/glxgears
        libGL.so.1 => /usr/lib64/fglrx/libGL.so.1 (0x00002af6d532d000)

Hi Giles,

libaticalrt.so is provided by the package in /usr/lib{64}/fglrx/ so it 
looks more like a case that your BOINC application is looking for it in 
another place. Can you please show the exact error message.

Can you try creating a symlink from /usr/lib{64} to it and see if that 
fixes the issue.

I assume from your previous message you are running on x86_64? Can you 
confirm if your BOINC application is 32-bit or 64-bit? If it's 32-bit 
then you will also need the fglrx-x11-drv-32bit package that installs 
the 32-bit compatability libs in /usr/lib/fglrx.

Thanks.
