Bjorn, Thanks so much for the info!
I have run into the lib naming issues with other software, and as long as an error is produced duing compile/run time, have been able to work around it using symbolic links etc. Last question: Does anyone know where to get the various mods for Opposing force such as 'parachute' etc.? Is there a comprehensive Oppsing Force setup FAQ or guide anywhere? -Grant ----- Original Message ----- From: "kama" <[email protected]> To: "Half-Life dedicated Linux server mailing list" <[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, February 20, 2010 10:47 AM Subject: Re: [hlds_linux] FreeBSD Mods > > Hi! > > There is no difference how you run mods on FreeBSD or Linux, since you > "run Linux within FreeBSD". > > One thing you might need to be aware of that the FreeBSD linuxbase might > not have all the necissary libraries or wrong versions.
