Success !!! So thanks to a nudge in the right direction from valve.. we've resolved our problems with the linux library or our mod..
Embarrassingly I *only* needed to use the "-r" option of LDD to expose the fact I had an unresolvable symbol in my library. This was CSatchelCharge. I've not been able to understand why this is the case, since game_shared/hl2mp/weapon_slam.cpp is compiled and linked in! it would just appear its missing in the .so!?! odd anyway.. we just stopped using this class - and stripped any code utilising it (wasn't much!) and it all now works regards + thanks for the replies to those that did.
