Hi Thibaut, I just tested 5.4.11-4 on an AMD X2 4200+ with Debian's SETI client which is fine. On all other 5 projects I tried so far did not support the _64 platform and reported that with the exact message that you where expecting.
While I am not convinced about the scientific merits of SIMAP, I was indeed glad to have something to switch from SETI now ... I registered through boincmgr and the machine was smoothly accepted, I downloaded some HMMer package and crunch along :-) This is the machine http://boinc.bio.wzw.tum.de/boincsimap/show_host_detail.php?hostid=57421 In short: I cannot reproduce the erratic behaviour you reported. Does Debian's SETI work for you? Have you changed anything in the configuration scripts? If so, maybe some purging and a reinstallation would help?
