[watevacss@brs srcds]$

didn't help work ..

[cryotek]

Well, the only thing i can say is that, only time I have seen this error is when someone is trying to run a cracked/nosteam server, allowing someone or themselves to play with a cracked/nosteam cs:s client In which we do not provide support for.

[noidea]

well this is full steam version all legit

[cryotek]

What athlon are you running on the system?

paste cat /proc/cpuinfo

[noidea]

[watevacss@brs srcds]$ cat /proc/cpuinfo

[cryotek]

well, everything looks fine from cpuinfo only thing i can say is to do

Code:

cd ~/ && rm -rf srcds && rm -rf .steam && mkdir srcds && cd srcds && wget storefront.steampowered.com/download/hldsupdatetool.bin

And start over with downloading the server files adding -verify_all to the update command.

Sorry i couln't be much more help.

[noidea]

i don'y think that will fix it because i have deleted the .so and ran it again the exact same error.. its like i can't axs or read the file

hi,
i 've got the same problem to start a server.

./srcds_run -game cstrike -debug
Auto detecting CPU

alternativ i have done this:
./srcds_amd -game cstrike -debug
Failed to open bin/dedicated_amd.so (tier0_i486.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory)

but the file is there:
# ll bin/tier0_i486.so
-rw-r--r-- 1 550 700 349274 31. Aug 09:03 bin/tier0_i486.so

or a other way to bring this baby up:
./srcds_i686 -game cstrike -debug
Failed to open bin/dedicated_i686.so (tier0_i486.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory)

yes , i have updated stream with -verify_all
some more infos:
- this is my 1st time to run a cstrike server. i never had have a running server
on this system before.

cpu info:
model name : AMD Athlon™ Processor

ok it is a old one, but it is just a testsystem

Linux FC5 2.6.17-1.2157_FC5 #1 Tue Jul 11 22:55:46 EDT 2006 i686 athlon i386 GNU/Linu
>_#
set |grep PATH
PATH=/usr/kerberos/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/bin:/usr/bin:/home/marc/bin

in other boads some people talked about a Libary path setting. but does the path
/path.to.css/bin have to be set in any path setting ? i dont think so.
but i have tested it and add it to my .profile without any changing. the error is still the same. server/clients are legal and without any cracks or cheats etc.

if someone out there could bring light in my darkness ....?!

Ungltiger Maschinenbefehl <- i have the feeling in english that means somehting like illegal instruction?

Your cpu will not run srcds because it doesn't have the SSE instruction srcds requires to run.

[jtmcdole]

Hi Cryo,

What about srcds on linux _requires_ sse? I can run a dedicated CS:S server on the exact same machine, booted into the WinXP OS, but not on the Fedora Core 4 boot. I can also play the game just as well on the XP version, which I'm sure requires more horse power than just SSE instructions.

This is a cat of my cpu info (from cygwin in winxp):
$ cat /proc/cpuinfo
processor : 0
vendor_id : AuthenticAMD
type : primary processor
cpu family : 6
model : 4
model name : AMD Athlon™Processor
stepping : 4
brand id : 0
cpu count : 0
apic id : 0
cpu MHz : 1613
fpu : yes
flags : fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 sep mtrr pge mca cmov pat p
se36 mmx fxsr syscall mmxext 3dnowext 3dnow

I ask this in this forum because my main server, a duron800, was running just fine on older software till Valve updated recently, forcing clients to not connect.

SSE has nothing to do with horsepower, its just an instruction, and im not sure if valve put it in the windows version of srcds. I've never really seen someone post an illegal instruction from a windows server.

Is SSE something that is compiled into kernel or a standalone prog?
I´m asking because I´m a complete noob on Linux, and my server doesn´t work either. Similar problem as above, and I don´t have SSE, when I list

Code:

cat /proc/cpuinfo

My server did just fine until the update 24/8, then it died

//gnys

[cryotek]

No, SSE is an instruction set used by the CPU, if your CPU doesn't have SSE, it won't use SSE.

[giana]

ok, after understanding what SSE is i think we have to configure out how
the server finds the file tier0_i486.so located in the ./bin directory while starting.
i think the search path to ./bin/tier0_i486.so must be hardcoded in the binary (e.g. srcds_amd)
which is called by the srcds_run script.
so hardcodes PATH settings are not used of cause from flexibility.
but if im right there should be a way to manipulate the search path for the *.so files.

i found a interesting line (10) in srcds_run and changed it into
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="./bin"
it seems that fixes my problem to locate tier0_i486.so
but after that i hang on a other error which seems to be the main problem

traslation: ungültiger Maschienenbefehl means syntax error i think.
the -debug paramter does not help , the debug file looks is like empty
