Debian 4.0 IA64

[dant]

Hey Guys,

I have a dell 3250 with x 2 1.4ghz Itaniums. I'm running debian IA64 64bit. I have an issue with the steam hldsupdatetool.bin binary as it will not extract its files after I do:

chmod +x
hldsupdatetool.bin
./hldsupdatetool.bin
type yes and press enter

after that nothing happens.

Any Ideas?

I think the update tool uses bunzip or something similar to extract the files, you might not have it installed...

I've seen it before but i'm sure it left a message saying exactly what it couldn't find...

make sure your machine has bunzip, gzip etc

'whereis bunzip2'

'whereis gzip'

'whereis gunzip'

etc etc etc

you should get

[srcds@126423-web1 /]$ whereis bunzip2
bunzip2: /usr/bin/bunzip2 /usr/share/man/man1/bunzip2.1.gz

[get]

try to do the first symlink needed by steam for extract:

Code:

ln -s /bin/gunzip /bin/uncompress

my server:

AAh yes 'uncompress'...that was it

Aplogies for my half baked reply

Guys,

At some point I did manage to extract the steam binary however the server will not start up due to loads of errors.
