Problems with BOINC

Hi,

I tried using BOINC the other day and installed it regarding to the wiki. It works but i have some issues with boincmgr. I'm participating in rosetta@home and einstein@home at the moment. I can see the graphical stuff for rosetta but not for the einstein project.If I click on "show graphics" for an einstein "working unit" I get

execv: No such file or directory

I'm on Arch64 and there is a wiki entry for it at http://boinc.berkeley.edu/wiki/Installing_on_Linux
I installed libstdc++5 and freeglut3 but no luck with the graphics for einstein.

Another issue: boinmgr has some buttons which will open some websites when clicking on them. It seems like it looks in the wrong place for firefox because I get

gvfs-open: http://fold.it: Fehler beim Starten der Anwendung: Kindprozess »/usr/lib/firefox-3.6/firefox« konnte nicht ausgeführt werden (Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden)

when clicking such a button. Which means something like: no such file or directory. I have Firefox 4 installed, so the directory /usr/lib/firefox-3.6/firefox is wrong but there is no way to set the right directory in the menu or options.

Any boinc fans who can help me out?
