-4. Making the BOINC core client usable on AMD64
------------------------------------------------
-
-Most BOINC projects do not support AMD64 and do not provide
-applications for it. You know that a project does not support AMD64
-when your client receives a message from the BOINC server which looks
-like this:
-
-    "Message from server: platform 'x86_64-pc-linux-gnu' not found"
-
-If you still want to use the AMD64 BOINC core client you can now
-install 'boinc-app-*' packages (see paragraph 2.) which use the
-anonymous platform mechanism or additionally modify the core client to
-donwload 32bit applications which are available for almost all
-projects. The following instructions explains the latter option:
-
- 1. Install the libc6-i386 package (the 32bit GNU C library for AMD64)
-    since the BOINC core client will download and run 32bit
-    applications:
-     % apt-get install libc6-i386
-
- 2. Stop the BOINC core client:   
-     % /etc/init.d/boinc-client stop
-
- 3. Replace the string 'x86_64-pc-linux-gnu' with 'i686-pc-linux-gnu'
-    in the XML element <platform_name> in your client state file
-    '/var/lib/boinc-client/client_state.xml'. You can use this sed
-    snippet to do this for you:
-     % sed -i -e \
-         's/<platform_name>x86_64-pc-linux-gnu<\/platform_name>/<platform_name>i686-pc-linux-gnu<\/platform_name>/' \
-         /var/lib/boinc-client/client_state.xml
-
- 4. Start the BOINC core client again:
-     % /etc/init.d/boinc-client start
