I was wondering if there are plans to implement a 32-bit version, since the majority of the BOINC community still uses 32-bit processors. |

Do you mean 32 bit for linux? Because the windows app is 32 bit. I was planning on doing the 32 bit for linux but my higher priority was getting the mac port and the 64-bit windows port first. I didn't realize there was a high demand for the 32 bit linux version. |

Sorry that I forgot to clarify. I meant a 32-bit version, I am running a PPC mac and a 32-bit Intel linux computer and would like to contribute to this project with the linux computer. Thanks, Jon |

We should be able to get that ported in the near future. |

Thanks, from your 32-Bit Linux friends! |

It looks like this is going to take longer than I expected. The last 2 weeks I've been dealing with other more serious server related issues. And I will be going on vacation for about a week. So it will probably be a few more weeks before I get to it. |

Bump! I attached a 32-bit Linux computer to this project and it is sitting idle waiting for you :-) meanwhile my 64-bit Linux computer is plugging along. Any update to the ETA for Linux 32-bit? thanks! |

Bump! Yeah, sorry about that. It seems like there's always something more pressing to do. It's not a simple task because I need to get 32bit versions of all the libraries we use before I can build it. As soon as I have a free weekend, I will do it. |

As you've probably seen from the news items, the 32bit apps are finally available. The process turned out to be easier than I thought. I ended up using a 32bit linux virtual machine. The worst part was setting up the virtual machine and installing all the necessary 32bit libraries; but even that only took several hours. |
