CS:S Server Wont Start

[jsz]

I have a box running FreeBSD 5.2.1 and the server will not start no matter what i put in the line.

LT2-770# ./srcds_run
Auto detecting CPU
Using AMD Optimised binary.
Auto-restarting the server on crash
Sun Jan 23 06:11:53 EST 2005: Server Quit

LT2-770# ./srcds_run -game cstrike +maxplayers 16 +map de_dust
Auto detecting CPU
Using AMD Optimised binary.
Auto-restarting the server on crash
Sun Jan 23 06:11:59 EST 2005: Server Quit

Is there any fix for this?

What does the error log say?

[jsz]

I looked in /home/cs-source (where i installed it) and didn't see any log files. Is there some other directory where it would be?

you need to add -debug to generate a debug.log for linux you need gdb, dunno if its needed for FreeBSD, do yuo have linux compatibility installed and enabled?

[jsz]

Yes i did run it with -debug and it still didn't output a debug.log. And about the linux compatibility, im not sure if it is installed, i will check that now.

[cryotek]

its called linux_base

[jsz]

Yes i know, i had some problems installing, but i found a fix for the libintl.so.5 error i was getting: http://tomster.org/geek/freebsdcookbook/tidbits/gettextupgrade

But, after installing linux_base and rebooting, I'm still getting the same error.

Well the server starts up now, and I can connect to it. Not exactly sure what made it work but I think that installing (or reinstalling/updating):
/usr/ports/emulators/linux_base
/usr/ports/emulators/linux_base-8

Then installing:
glib-2.2.3 :: http://cvsweb.freebsd.org/ports/devel/glib20/glib20.tar.gz?tarball=1
linux-glib2-2.2.1 :: http://cvsweb.freebsd.org/ports/devel/linux-glib2/linux-glib2.tar.gz?tarball=1

Also for anyone having problems, check the /etc/rc.conf and see if linux_enable="YES" is in there.

I will setup a box here at home and install the same version of FreeBSD and see if I can recreate the same situation.. Then make a guide on what I installed/did to make it work.

Thanks to all who replied!

Will these files work for redhat linux 7.3?

[jsz]

I'd assume they would only work on freebsd (try at your own risk). But, you may want to search for just the base filename like glib at http://rpmfind.net/

[cryotek]

linux uses glibc

[jsz]

Thanks for adding that.. I dont use linux much.

Hopefully i'll get some time this weekend to experiment on another system and see what made mine work.
