Hello,
I'm new to the list, and I joined because I want to run steam on NetBSD
(2.0RC3) to host a counterstrike 1.6 server.
NetBSD has Linux compatibility, so far, so good, registered, got the
hlds_l_1120_full.tgz file, and tried to update steam to get from 1.5 to
1.6 (prot. 46 -> 47):
-bash-2.05b$ ./steam
Checking bootstrapper version ...
Getting version 9 of Steam HLDS Update Tool
Downloading. . . . . . . . . . .
tar: unknown option U
usage: tar [-]{crtux}[-befhjlmopqvwzHLOPXZ014578] [archive] [blocksize]
[-C directory] [-T file] [-s replstr] [file ...]
update failed, please run "tar xzUf LinuxHldsUpdateTool_9.pkg" to install
the latest steam binary, errno 2 "No such file or directory"
So, tar doesn't do U (unlink), and it doesn't do it, because it's deprecated:
man tar: "--unlink Ignored, only accepted for compatibility with
other tar implementations. tar always unlinks files before creating them."
So, I end up with LinuxHldsUpdateTool_9.pkg which contains steam bin, and
when I manually extract the steam bin, it goes fine, but when I run the
freshly unpacked steam, it goes into the same loop again. So.. eh.. *help*
:)
Anyone ?
Wouter
