Running a benchmark to measure system clock frequency...
Finished RDTSC test. To prevent the startup delay from this benchmark, set the environment variable RDTSC_FREQUENCY to 2800.000000 on this system. This value is dependent upon the CPU clock speed and architecture and should be determined separately for each server. The use of this mechanism for timing can be disabled by setting RDTSC_FREQUENCY to 'disabled'.

I am not too familiar to your problem. But all I want to know and can share with you that Left 4 Dead has got some new, lively game play elements. In other words, Left 4 Dead is definitely more 'complete' than the original version!

Code:

./srcds_run -game left4dead +map l4d_hospital01_apartment

Should do it. Your problem is that you probably have assigned an IP which does not exists.

Ya I tryed that too and the same thing one more thing is I noticed the download stops at like 98.9 or somthing where as the counter strike source completes to 100% I have read several people saying the samething I tryed 3x to download L4D server on fedora 11
this is what i did ...
mkdir srcds_l WORKING
cd srcds_l WORKING
wget http://www.steampowered.com/download/hldsupdatetool.bin WORKING

./hldsupdatetool.bin WORKING
./steam WORKING
./steam -command update -game left4dead -dir . WORKING
./srcds_run -console -game left4dead -maxplayers 4 -autoupdate NOTWORKING

Hey im still playing around here and since I can't find a real step by step guide on the search engine. Everything leaves you hanging.
in the terminal what directory must it be running in?
I tried in the srcds_l directory to run
./srcds_run -console -game left4dead -maxplayers 4 -autoupdate [NOT WORKING ERROR - Failed to open bin/dedicated_i486.so (tier0_i486.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory)]
./srcds_i486 -console -game left4dead -maxplayers 4 -autoupdate
Invalid game type 'left4dead' sepecified.
Mon Oct 5 11:17:29 MDT 2009: Server Failed
When i go to the srcds_l/l4d/ directory to un the commands
./srcds_run -console -game left4dead -maxplayers 4 -autoupdate
the same error as post 1

[realchamp]

Try run it as root. And a new installation.

[trafficpayout]

ok i did the first install as root and it locked the folder and i could.t pitthe server.cfg in the l4d/cfg/
ill try it again
thanks
