sh: uncompress: command not found

Enter 'yes' to accept this agreement, 'no' to decline: yes
sh: uncompress: command not found

I keep getting this error whenever I try to run ./hldsupdatetool.bin, I tried searching google but I didn`t get the answer I was looking for. I am trying to run a dedicated cs: source server on my friends box, I asked him if he had root access and he said "we don`t get it for security reasons", so is there any way I can install this without having root access?

next time search the forums and read the stickies.

You do need root to install ncompress or link gunzip to uncompress.

Thanks, but that doesn't really help me at all because I don't have permission.

I get:

Enter 'yes' to accept this agreement, 'no' to decline: yes
sh: uncompress: command not found
stagger@protious [~/srcds_l]# ln -s /usr/bin/gunzip /usr/bin/uncompress
ln: creating symbolic link `/usr/bin/uncompress' to `/usr/bin/gunzip': Permission denied

Canada369 from EAXposed?

I still get:

stagger@protious [~/srcds_l]# alias uncompress=gunzip
stagger@protious [~/srcds_l]# ln -s /usr/bin/gunzip /usr/bin/uncompress
ln: creating symbolic link `/usr/bin/uncompress' to `/usr/bin/gunzip': Permission denied

stagger@protious [~/srcds_l]# gunzip -h
gunzip 1.3.3
(2002-03-08)
usage: gunzip [-cdfhlLnNrtvV19] [-S suffix] [file ...]

gunzip should work because its installed already on the box. I have no clue what to do now, I've been stuck for 2 weeks at the least.

i think steam directly uses "/usr/bin/uncompress" instead of just 'uncompress" so talk to whoever you rent a server from, have them link gunzip to uncompress or install ncompress. If you pay for this server and they won't you can come to me and i'll hook you up with someone to rent a server from that'll give you top notch support.

How much money is that guy you know asking for his ssh hosting services?

I don't want to pay allot for it, I don't pay anything for my current hosting but I'll pay if its required. It all depends on the price he is asking for.

Depends on what you're looking for, if you're looking for a full on dedicated server with root access it starts as low as $139/mo for a dual cpu i belive. If you want just a single cpu, probably start at $109/mo with them all being unmanaged. Supported operating systems are:
FreeBSD
CentOS
Fedora
Debian

And maybe Gentoo for a one time setup fee of $50.

If you wanted just a source dedicated server we can talk about that. we have servers in chicago (Equinix IBX Datacenter), and fremont (Hurricane Electric Datacenter).

Sorry, but I cannot afford $109 a month, too expensive. Plus I'm not that dedicated to this game to go through such lengths to pay just for a small, private clan server. I'm mostly just interested in having a source dedicated server for my small clan to practice on. And since only about 6 of us actually play it, we don't plan on running a gigantic 24-30 man server.

I have come across yet another problem.

I had my friend upload steam manually but whenever I type ./steam I get this error message:

stagger@protious [~/hlds]# ./steam
Checking bootstrapper version ...
Failed to connect to any GeneralDirectoryServer
stagger@protious [~/hlds]#

The steam file is uploaded so I don't know what I'm supposed to do now.

If it helps the linux software is Redhat. Thats all I really know because I never used linux before.

well "permission denied" is because you don't have the rights to create the sym link, try doing it under either su or root. that should work.

where is this server located? at some business? if so you may be behind a firewall and that's why you're getting the "failed to connect" errors. (the ports are blocked) wget would work because that's port 80 which is normally open.
