Am unable to install hlds on RH 7.3 ./steam -command update -game valve -dir . complains about not having glibc2.3 or above. Do I not need hlds installed? Cannot figure out how to install glibc2.3 without removing glibc2.2 and that breaks the compiler. RH 7.3 is best for compiling HL But I will need another Linux VM to run it? Like RH 9. RH 7.3 does not come with gcc2.95 I think you are telling me I should google for a gcc2.95.x.xx.i386.rpm that installs to /usr/local. and g++2.95 or just download the sources and build it in /usr/local and update the Makefile CC=g++295 LDFLAGS=/usr/local/gcc295/ path to /2.95.3/libstdc++.a -lm Does this mean any 2.95 will work? ( 2.95.1 2.95.2 2.95.3) Why choose a particular OS. IF any 2.95 works. Debian 2.2 comes with 2.95.2 Debian (WOODY) has 2.95.4 http://www.voxgratia.org/docs/compilers.html Yet all will have the problem with glibc2.3 and not be able to install HLDS. ----------------------- have installed gcc-2.95.3 here is the error I get compiling the unmodified SDK/multiplayer/dlls /usr/local/gcc-2.95.3/bin/g++ -Dstricmp=strcasecmp -D_strnicmp=strncasecmp -Dstrnicmp=strncasecmp -DCLIENT_WEAPONS -w -mcpu=i486 -O1 -fPIC -I. -I../engine -I../common -I../pm_shared -I../game_shared -o obj/airtank.o -c airtank.cpp In file included from weapons.h:18, from airtank.cpp:19: effects.h: In method `void CSprite::AnimateAndDie(float)': effects.h:82: static_cast from `{unknown type}' to `void (CBaseEntity::*)()' effects.h: In method `void CBeam::LiveForTime(float)': effects.h:171: object-dependent reference `SUB_Remove' can only be used in a call effects.h:171: to form a pointer to member function, say `&CBaseEntity::SUB_Remove' airtank.cpp: In method `void CAirtank::Spawn()': airtank.cpp:61: static_cast from `{unknown type}' to `void (CBaseEntity::*)(CBaseEntity *)' airtank.cpp:62: static_cast from `{unknown type}' to `void (CBaseEntity::*)()' gmake: *** [obj/airtank.o] Error 1 any ideas?
