Thanks for the tips, guys. DOOMster, I had already run the ldconfig when I set up the environment with Xerces. However, far be it for me to ignore good advice so I gave it another go just to be on the safe side, but still no joy :(
I got Jeff Moss's suggestion later in the digest: ================================================== Message: 3 From: "Jeffrey Moss" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [hlcoders] Linux- Compiled VCPM runtime eror Date: Fri, 14 Jan 2005 12:01:43 -0700 Reply-To: [email protected] export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=./ Good luck with the rest of the problems :-P -Jeff ================================================= And that did the trick. Looking back it makes sense to me now because those libs are obviously not in the std library path, I just assumed that the "make" or VCPM would have made provisions for that. Well I guess my ASSumption was wrong. DOH! I'm thinking that perhaps this step should be mentioned in the Linux compile instructions on the valve-erc, as well as specifying that the Linux box should have a steam/source install on it. ( I had just copied the sdk over from a windoze box originally) I'm getting a rather ominous feeling from Jeff's "Good luck with the rest of the problems" note... Thanks again, it compiles now and "Look Ma, no compiler errors!" -G. "Sparken" Sparks Oz Deathmatch On Fri, 2005-01-14 at 23:48, DOOManiac wrote: > I ran into this same problem too.
