Left 4 dead Server doesnt start

[Sir_knumskull]

Hi there,

im getting the following error message when i start the left 4 dead server even if i start srcds_run only with the -game left4dead startparameter.

I installed left 4 dead new. No addons or plugins ... I dont know more. I used memtester for checking _most_ ram and it seems to be ok.

a couterstrike:source server is running properly.

Can anybody please help me?

Then ill start entering some more infos:

* All of the code is now being compiled with gcc 4.3.0 and glibc 2.8-8
in order to take advantage of compiler fixes and optimization
enhancements. In order to run the l4d Linux dedicated server, you
will need a system which can run binaries built against this version
of glibc.
