installing DS on FreeBSD 4.7

[poinda]

hi,

first up, i did do a search for this but with the search term restriction to 4 chars i couldnt do a search for bsd and so im assuming i missed finding what i was after if it has been prev asked.

i have a mate who has offered to host a Source Linux DS for me on his FreeBSD 4.9 box. Basic Specs: P4 3.2ghz with HT, 2gb ram with X 120gb HDD. He just wanted me to find instructions for him on how to install it and he'd go and do it. i searched these forums and found http://www.srcds.com which appears to be quite a good site... specifically http://www.srcds.com/db/engine.php?subaction=showfull&id=1098643920&archive=

He started following these steps. He downloaded the .bin chmod'ed it and perfmormed the ./steam command to get this response:

Enter 'yes' to accept this agreement, 'no' to decline: yes
extracting steam...done
bash-2.05a$ ./steam
Abort trap (core dumped)
bash-2.05a$

if any1 can explain to me why this is happening or how to get passed it it would be greatly appreciated. thanks,

Mike

edit: had version 4.7 of bsd when actually 4.9

I think you must check that linux-base_8 port is installed on your FreeBSD system

thanks for that response. from all the reading i have been doing it certainly would appear that the linux-base_8 port is not install on the server.

how would i check if it is installed and if it isn't, how do i go about installing it. will installing it disrupt any other services that may be installed ie, apache?

Have him do this command:

pkg_info | grep -i "linux"

Should get this back if it's installed:

linux_base-8-8.0_4 Base set of packages needed in Linux mode (only for i386)

If you don't, cd to /usr/ports/emulators/linux_base-8/

make install clean

It will not interrupt any other services, it will just add the ability to run Linux binaries on the FreeBSD box.

Check the ports tree for steaming goodness :-)

cd /usr/ports/games/linux-steam
make fetch
make install

Should get you and your mate on on his way.

I'm running it on 5.3 latest perl with make.conf optimization flags when i compiled everything. Also I am running the linux-rh-9 from the ports tree. Make sure you cvsup your tree FIRST...THEN install the port....THEN edit your fstab to include linprocfs...So far the server has been running just fine without much problems..dont really know about lag issues as I havent hammered it with anything too severe. Bots are not working properly...so I am not sure..
