I posted this thread in the "Server programs" section of this forum, but I don't think it has received much attention. Out of fear that I've posted it in the incorrect section and because I would still appreciate assistance regarding this issue, I will repost it here. If this is a problem, please let me know! Thank you very much.

Hello,

I am completely new to many, if not all, concepts that BOINC uses. Mainly, this is my first time using linux and terminal commands in general. Thus, I am unsure as to what useful information I should provide in this thread to better describe my situation. If I should provide any additional information, please let me know.

I am not the one who set up the server computer with boinc, so my knowledge is limited. I have been assigned my own account to the server computer and have downloaded the most recent stable version of boinc.

I am attempting to using my Windows 7 laptop to ssh a server computer that has already been set up for me to create a test project to see if a server-computer-to-client-computer communication can be established. Mainly, if I can assign these simple projects created on the server computer to my laptop and receive the results.

I have attempted to follow these guides:

http://www.boinc-wiki.info/How_to_create_a_BOINC_Project_-_Step_By_Step_instructions

and

http://boinc.berkeley.edu/trac/wiki/QuickStart

I was able to run "./configure" using --disable-client and --disable-server and "make" seemed to encounter no problems. However, when attempting to run "make_project", I receive an error regarding crypt_prog not being found, despite that it exists and is in the specific directory.

I have attached two screenshots that hopefully better describe my situation. How do I get rid of this error and proceed with creating my project?






Thank you very much for your assistance! I apologize if any part of my thread is confusing. If clarifications are necessary, please let me know.
