Hi Randall,

Folding@Home doesn't use the BOINC framework but its own clients/stats.
Despite being a 64bit application it relies on some 32bit libraries (On 
non-suse linux distributions I had to install a 32bit-compat-lib).
I posted the problem in the f@h forum, too. So I hope to get some useful 
feedback.

Michael
