 From the above, it looks like the application looking for 
libaticalrt.so is dnetc_1.02_i686-pc-linux-gnu__ati14, and I note the 
i686 in the filename suggesting it's a 32-bit application.

So lets try installing the 32-bit compatibility libs and see if that 
helps. Do this:

yum --enablerepo=elrepo-testing install fglrx-x11-drv-32bit

That might also pull in further packages from the base/updates repo of 
your distro (CentOS) which is fine. Then reboot and try testing it again.

See above.

Thanks for that - much appreciated. The new libs are correctly linked so 
that looks encouraging. Hopefully the bit above will fix your issue with 
running your BOINC app.

As a test, you could also try running ldd against the BOINC app above 
(dnetc_1.02_i686-pc-linux-gnu__ati14), and you should hopefully see it 
linked against the missing libaticalrt.so library once it's fixed.
