Sounds to me just like a funky download problem.  I'd try that download 
again... otherwise, I can mirror the unzipped boinc file if your version 
of gzip can't open it.  Is that Debian Stable you're using?  Maybe it's 
just too freakin' old...

  So I tried the source. Made sure all the required packaged were
installed, including the not mentioned mysql development package for
mysql_config, but it fails in the client stage with the following error
messages regardless of what version I download:

app.C: In method `int ACTIVE_TASK::start(bool)':
app.C:418: `errno' undeclared (first use this function)
app.C:418: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
app.C:418: for each function it appears in.)

What CVS date are you using?

Don't use the CVS dated after the 27th of June.  There were some 
checkins that aren't backwards-compatible with the existing applications 
(SETI@Home itself).

I haven't seen that error yet, that I can recall.  I just compiled the 
latest CVS version to verify.

Oh, you did say Debian.... just to verify, we're talking about a recent 
version of GCC, right?  Not something as outdated as 2.95.... boinc 
doesn't build with gcc < 3.x.
