Re: setiathome client does not work

[Gustaf Erikson <gustafe@home.se>]

Followup to my own post: 

I downloaded the new version
(setiathome-3.03.alpha-unknown-linux-gnu.tar) from the Seti@Home
webpage, and just untarred into a directory. Now I get the message

[ger@rhino:~/setiathome-3.03.alpha-unknown-linux-gnu ]$ ./setiathome
Couldn't get lock file.  This is probably because
another instance of SETI@home is running in this directory.
Each instance of SETI@home must run in a separate directory.


There is no other instance of setiathome on the machine, according to
'ps ax'.

Well well. At least it's a different message.

I'll try the debian-user list in the future, as I don't think this is
an Alpha-specific question. Thanks for the suggestions sent to me.
