Running on an AMD64 system

First, go to the Boinc project directory. On a Gentoo system, that is:

# cd /var/lib/boinc/projects

Create a directory for lhc@home if it doesn't exist:

# mkdir -p lhcathome.cern.ch

Enter the newly-created directory:

# cd lhcathome.cern.ch

Get the 32-bit client:

# wget http://lhcathome.cern.ch/download/sixtrack_4.66_i686-pc-linux-gnu

Create a app_info.xml file:

# emacs app_info.xml

Enter the following on the file:

<app_info>
<app>
<name>sixtrack</name>
</app>
<file_info>
<name>sixtrack_4.66_i686-pc-linux-gnu</name>
<executable/>
</file_info>
<app_version>
<app_name>sixtrack</app_name>
<version_num>440</version_num>
<file_ref>
<file_name>sixtrack_4.66_i686-pc-linux-gnu</file_name>
<main_program/>
</file_ref>
</app_version>
</app_info>


Save and exit. Then, restart Boinc.

I third this motion for a 64-bit version of LHC@Home. I'll try the same hack I've used with Einstein@home (made its 32-bit version work), and will post the results here.
