Ok I got a question for anyone that can answer, I installed vmware on my brothers c2d an ubuntu 64bit an I tried for hours to get the smp linux to work but after unpacking the fah an trying to run the ./fah commands it just kept saying not a directory or something like that, I lost track of how many times I tried every variation they had on the web. I downloaded it many times to see if I got it wrong, but I could not figure it out. I finally downloaded the windows smp an have that running. if anyone could give me a heads up on why that would not work I would apreciate it.

Cam, I suspect you failed to install the 32 bit compatibility libraries. They are necessary.

Open the terminal and paste the following command

sudo apt-get install ia32-libs

Enter your pw and complete the install. Then you should be able to navigate to the FAH folder and run -config

Being a lazy Windows user I download the tgz from the download page. I go to the home folder and create a folding folder. Open that a create the FAH folder. I then paste the .tgz in the FAH folder. Double click it and hit the extract button. The 2 files are extracted in the FAH. I move the .tgz to the trash. Now that the libraries are installed and files extracted, open the terminal.

cd folding (enter)
cd FAH (enter
./fah5 -configonly (enter)

And you are in business. It's a piece of cake. HTH.

why is it so hard just to type ls hit enter before running the command,to make sure the files are there,I dont get it.Its simple!

\ that could be 2 WFo but based on his screen shots hes running,the commands some place the files are not,so they dont work,if he would do what I ask we would know then we could go to the next problem,but now hes totally confused and so am I.

matter of miss communications, I have a folder called folding sitting in my home directory, not fah after it. seems simpler to me.

Hey Cam, glad you got it sorted. As a certified Linux illiterate noob, I can relate to the frustration sometimes involved. If I were a touch typist, I might actually learn to like command line.

Thanks Viper! I didn't know the commands could be combined.

[Camaro]

seems the main problem I was having, is just running vmware for folding on the 64bit Linux I didn't install any programs didn't set it up for actual use, I did not know that, it being advertised for 64bit only, it was actually a 32bit program.

I tried out linux a few times but I never stuck with it because of them problems. I am certainly glad they have come so far.


Ya know might be abit late now to ask, but when it asks for a user an team, do I need to create a user at the folding forum or something? an just putting 51370 in will work right?
