I have encountered this problem before. There seems to have been an issue with
wxGTK at some point, please try reemerging wxGTK, and then boinc. That should
clear it up.

i tried, but i get the same error as before...

Does it build if you `USE=-X emerge -v boinc`? What version of wxGTK do you
have installed? This is a large part of the reason that boinc is still in
package.mask - it's build seems to be delicate and it requires much more
testing.

It seems to be an issue with wxGTK and the GUI code - I am using wxGTK-2.4.2-r2
here without any problmes.

now i get the following error message:

We should change the current ebuild to require wxgtk 2.4.  At least until they
release a version that works with wxgtk 2.6.

Well, it looks like boinc 4.35 only works with wxgtk>=2.6 so we should release
a
new ebuild...

boinc 4.45 ebuild

Here is a new ebuild for boinc 4.45.  They have included both of my patches
upstream, so they have been removed from the ebuild.

I also removed the bit of code that forced it to use the non-unicode version of
wxconfig hoping it has been fixed.  So if you use an unicode version of wxGTK,
please test this and report here.

I can confirm this error is due to Unicode in wxGTK. 4.45 doesn't solve the 
problem, unfortunately (at least for me). 

still won't compile...

boinc 4.72 ebuild

Ok, this compiles and works for me on systems with/without wxGTK on them and
with/without unicode support in wxgtk (this was fixed upstream, yay).  What was
breaking the build was the fact that they now try to build static binaries by
default, so we just tell it not to...

I would like to suggest this for inclusion into cvs. I will also attach id diff
vs boinc-4.32.ebuild for ease.

boinc 4.32 to 4.72 diff

boinc-4.72 works well... but i can't find the initscript for starting it at
boot...

You should copy the init.d and conf.d scripts from the
/usr/portage/sci-misc/boinc/files/ directory.  You might also want to glance at
bug #98342, which I suggest checking into portage too.

k thanks it works... anyway i think the init script should be automatically
installed when boinc-4.72 is emerged...

Boinc 4.72 effectively fixes this and is now in Portage. Thanks to everyone 
for the feedback.
