Boinc Cluster

Note: I never actually got this to work!

Installing Server

Gentoo's portage didn't seem to install Boinc server even though there is a 'server' USE flage for the package. Therefore I followed instructions on the project website and installed the lastest version using SVN.

Make sure Apache, MySQL and PHP are installed:

emerge -av apache mysql php

From your home directory:

svn co http://boinc.berkeley.edu/svn/trunk/boinc
cd boinc
./_autosetup
./configure
make

[edit]

Clients

You need to install Boinc client on each computer that will be performing computations in the cluster. The Boinc client is better supported in Linux package management systems.
