Issues with libz.so.1

[Stonic]

Hey, I have been having some issues trying to install or update steam. I had a working cs:source server prior to trying to update my dedicated server. When I tried to run an update command on the steam file, I first got the error`similar to:

Can not load file libz.so.1: No such file or directory

I than coppied my libz.so.1 file from /lib64/libz.so.1 to /lib32/libz.so.1 (I am running a 64 bit processor)

Once I did that, it now sees the file, but can not use it:

./steam: error while loading shared libraries: libz.so.1: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64

when I do a less libz.so.1 I can see that the class is ELF64 at the top, which should be fine, however I don't think the steam client likes it... lol, anyway... does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this? I would be very greatful for any suggestions.

what is the exact commandline you are trying to do? is the error you're getting still for css or have you migrated to another game/mod? have you done a -verify_all ?

[Stonic]

/home/static/srcds_l/steam -command update -game tf -verify_all

Does the exact same thing, even just running steam on it's own will have the same effect.

If I do -game cstrike (Or whatever it was for CS source) it will do the same thing, it's not even getting past the first step.

I tried deleting all steam files, and re-downloaded the hlupdatetool.bin, after that I can execute the steam the first time, than when I try to run it a second time / update my files is where I get the issue.

I am running gentoo on an athlonX2

why dont you define the -dir flag?

since youre running gentoo, why dont you just emerge steam, so it is properly integrated? (puts it in /opt/halflife)

hahaha...damn. I never knew steam was on the portage list :O!! I'll try that now, thanks

Eek, looks like the build is for x86 only, I can't emerge it, or unmask this build.

I'm at work right now, and for some reason my SSH is really sluggish, I think I'm having connection issues as well ha! I will see what I can do when I get home

Dealt with this problem just last week. So here's what you should do:

1) delete libz.so.1 from /lib32 dir
2) emerge emul-linux-x86-baselibs

...and you should be ready to go

You are the man! Thanks
