Hi

I had this error with the 1.2 version:

[debug] BOINC: Trying to find requested ATI OpenCL device #0
[07:09:27][29377][ERROR] Application caught signal 11.
......
Frame 2:
Binary file: /usr/lib/libamdocl32.so (0xf5fcad78)

It turned out on debian64, the AMD driver is installed on /usr/lib32/libamdocl32.so and not /usr/lib/libamdocl32.so.
I don't know why but I had an old version in /usr/lib.
Just copied the new lib over, and it's now working.

Christophe

Thanks for hint,

Oliver i tested not debs or supplied catalyst but its 12.1 installer and found that opencl missing on system nothing helped even installing sdk after 12.1 install. Only what is work is supplied in ubuntu and installing sdk after but this combination is terrible old.

Just found out that 12.1 was released as an unstable package a few days ago so I've installed that on all my boxes now and 1 is happily crunching away on an opencl wu


How do you installed it. I use this. http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Oneiric_Installation_Guide I make debs and install then.


My boxes are gentoo, all I had to do was unmask the unstable package and compile it.


It is pain to do this but maybe this help http://en.gentoo-wiki.com/wiki/Fglrx

Can you try ubuntu on these boxes or it look a pain. Ubuntu is simple then others.

I think its restricted to linux 64 bit machines


Whay it download app if it is restriced. It not find x86 opencl file because folder locations different in x64

App itself not get opencl file info because it look it another place but it not look it on both folders.
Boinc itself detect x64 file but we needed 32bit one. Drivers supply both files.

But This crunching app not find it and lead to compute error.
Same happen in linux x64 systems and windows x64
Only what help is putting the opencl.dll file to boinc albert data dir

Windows\system32\drivers\ ?????
it for 32 bit windows in x64 have 32bit file in another location normally in windows\system32\ dir and for x64 app C:\Windows\SysWOW64

With this project have only 32bit apps not for x64. x64 windows can run 32 bit apps too but file locations is different.

Hi i got compute errors wiht any boinc dev ver and with any drivers or even OS.
First fix is simple
Copy from C:\Windows\System32\opencl.dll to C:\ProgramData\BOINC\projects\albert.phys.uwm.edu folder and your card not produce any compute errors anymore.

Idont know whay project itself not supply these files to data dir.
My compute errors ended.

Linux needed only to look out because there is same problem app not detect opencl file in system it ends 5-6 seconds to compute error like it in windows do on x64 systems.
