Installing Counter Strike: Source or any other half-life Sever On Breezy.

[ginnsu]

I keep getting this when trying to run hldsupdatetool.bin:



The file is there, and I followed all the directions exactly. I am running Ubuntu 7.04 Server AMD64 (Is it because I'm running AMD64?).

I'm doing this through SSH on my Windows XP Pro computer. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I tried to include any information that might be useful, but if you need more just ask .

Sorry to drudge up a new thread but I found this thread looking for answers and this post gave me an idea that solved this problem for me. I'd just like it answered for the next person who's looking for answers (or more likely: me if I set up another server and forget my own solution.) From what I understand the Ubuntu Server & Desktop AMD64 do not come with the package lib32gcc1, which in most cases is not needed, but for installing the half life & source dedicated servers it is. So:

sudo apt-get install lib32gcc1

That nipped this one in the butt for myself. And I hope tehgooch had this solved a long time ago. Thank you.

Sorry to dredge an old thread as well, but I forgot to add the rest of my story. I had it set as executable, and it still wasn't working. I installed the 32-bit ubuntu server and it worked fine . Thanks for the tutorial .

it seems as if you are trying to run the game... from what you posted it looks like the "server" is running fine.

Newfag here at Ubuntu. I am running Ubuntu Server 8.10 on my Dell. This guide helped me loads. I thank you for your time you put into this.

Hey guys, I am proud to say that I've successfully installed Steam! CSS Is currently downloading ...For those who need help do what I do:


1. Make sure you have Wine.
1a. Make sure you have Tahoma font.
1b. If you need it, download it here
1c. extract font to cp Tahoma.ttf /home/USERNAME/.wine/drive_c/windows/fonts
1d. If you still cannot find it, search for .wine folder (make sure hidden files are not hidden.)

2. Once you have wine, type this in terminal wine --version

3. Make sure you have version 1.+ not 0.9

4. Go to www.steamgames.com download file (it's .msi not exe.)

5. Open file, don't save to desktop.

6. Wine should automatically open up Steam and you should have a regular "Windows" program running (steam).

7. Just follow the instructions and your good to go!

It feels good, considering the fact this is my second day with Linux, I still have a lot to learn, and need help with a few things myself, but this is for all those who were puzzled like me. I guess the other versions people were telling you to do were outdated?

PS - My O/S is Ubuntu 8.4

@Reyes1986

running the windows version through wine may not be the most CPU efficient way of running a CS:S server, I'd recommend checking out
this guide: on installing it in linux without having to bother with those windows libraries.
