and if I debug their script a bit, I see it is running hlds_amd. If I run it directly:

./hlds_amd -game valve
Error:libsteam_api_c.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Unable to load engine, image is corrupt.

If I hack hlds_run a bit I see that it is giving me a return value of 132 - which doesn't help me any cause I don't know that that means.

libsteam_api_c.so is in the current directory. It's a clean hlds download.

If I do a clean valve download via hldsupdatetool, and try to run it, same thing, so this does not appear to be a Gearbox problem.

So - try another machine, running Slackware 14 64 but. Same problem.

Fire up a virtual machine with Slack 14 32 bit, same problem.

This tells me the problem is not my physcal hardware, but hlds and/or the kernel and/or the distribution I'm running.

Fire up a virtual machine with Slack 12.2 using a 2.6x kernel, and it runs just fine.

So now I'm thinking that hlds linux does not run on newer distributions? Am I missing something somewhere? Are newer kernels or newer gcc versions not compatible with hlds linux?
