    I had forgotten about this one, so I thought I had better post it for others with a similar attention span.

    For the benefit of any other member with a Linux AMD64 BOINC platform who gets the error:
    "execv: No such file or directory"

    For some reason it appears that the BOINC wrapper is still making a 32 bit call during the file save process (eg when writing a results file into a BOINC slots folder)

    On a pure 64-bit system the lib-call will fail unless you add the ia32-libs package.

    This does not require a reboot.

    After installing the ia32-libs package simply resume the Neurona project and, providing you have no other system issues, it should continue on its merry way.

    Happy BOINCing. :)

      Good hint, Dave.

      I never noticed this, and no one has complained. Probably most of the 64 bit machines out there have already installed the 32 bit library package.

      Thanks!

      Javier.
