[Resolved] Srcds installation under Ubuntu Server x64

[fre1988]

HI!!

I´m using Ubuntu Server 10.10 amd 64 and I have a problem installing,
I made a folder in my homefolder (fredrik) and called it local. In that folder I have another one called srcds and in that folder I have hldsupdatetool.bin. So I cd to the right folder and than I try to run
./hldsupdatetool.bin but than it tells me that it can´t find the file.
I installed srcds before under Ubuntu_i386 and it worked, do I need something extra file to be able to download under Ubuntu_amd64 ?

Did you download the file?
Run ls in the directory to look at all the files/folders in it.

To run the hldsupdatetool.bin you need to do:

Code:

apt-get install lib32gcc1

Srcds is a 32-bit only program. This lib will allow you to run 32 bit programs on 64 bit OS.

thankyou it´s working now =)

[sk8r776]

Yup. Anytime you install Srcds on any 64-bit Linux you have to install the 32-bit library's.

yes but it gives me another error message after that:
"could not open lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (13: permission denied)
unable to lock the administration directory (var/lib/dpkg), are you root?"

what am i supposed to do about this i'm new to linux

You need to do "su" and then type the root password. You should never install as root.

That would be 'sudo -s' on ubuntu and your own users password. Normal ubuntu installation don't have a root password set.

Thanks for the correction. Just for the purpose of information, setting the root password can be done by "sudo passwd root".
