If you are using Linux and you try run this project, Gaia version 6 WUs will error out and the error will be:

error while loading shared libraries: libquadmath.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory


You have to manually install the libquadmath library, for Ubuntu and similar just run:

sudo apt install --reinstall libquadmath0


(or whatever command you use to install on other Linux distributions)
And then they will happily complete.
Maybe one day the WUs will be fixed and include the library by themselves instead of looking for it on your system, but until then, do that.

Confirming it works, WUs are being successfully completed.

Linux users definitely needs to do that.

It works, yeah it fixed the problem, so yeah that's a very important thing for Linux users, that library must be manually installed, but shouldn't a BOINC project download everything with the project and the WU itself?
