HLTV gives me an ERROR

[Karmy]

I just setup HLDS on my REDHAT9 and it gives me this error When i type "./hltv" and i cant seem to find hltv.cfg:

Console initialized.
FileSystem initialized.
Error:libSteamValidateUserIDTickets_i386.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
***** FATAL ERROR *****
Proxy::Init: couldn't load network module.
*** STOPPING SYSTEM ***
ERROR! System::AddModule: couldn't initialize module (null).
Type 'help' for a list of commands.
exit

Anyone know th eproblem with that? Please if u do help me=)

ditto, i got exactly the same thing trying to start a hltv server to spectate my cs server.(i do have a hltv.cfg tho)

both on linux box.

[Nathan D.]

Same here....Does anyone have any answers?!

[Redmist]

Copy all of the lib*.so files from the HLDS folder to /lib

[Nathan D.]

...............

[Redmist]

No! lib as in /lib not /hlds_l/lib

you know.....as in cd /lib

obviously you need to log in as root.....

ask your admin if it's not your linux box....

[Arcturus]

If i move all those lib files to the /lib folder.. then how am i suppose to run multiple sessions of HLTV, or it wouldnt matter for those .so files to override each other

[Nathan D.]

Works perfectly...Thanks man.

[Arcturus]

Hmm can you post a version of your config

[r3d3y3s]

yups nice one :) thanks, copied those lib files to /lib and works nicely.

im getting a warning saying it cant find the director files now or something to with them.
but still works fine tho.

This really needs to be made sticky.

[mulvinator]

That fix worked for me... but I had to login as root to do it. (Kinda lame when a game makes you do that).

And I agree, this should be stickied. It happened to my "previously working last week" HLTV server.

All the readmes and tutorials I've read say nothing about this error, yet it's the most common.

You dont have to copy the libs. The problem is that . (current working dir) isnt in your LD_LIBRARY_PATH. Instead of copying the libs to a place theyre not supposed to be, you can use the script below:


#/bin/sh
# hltv_run - Script for starting the HLTV server
# Created by bunjiboys - Asbjoern Zweidorff Kjaer
# Comments, questions etc. can be sent to bunjiboys@bunjiboys.dk

# Export the lib path
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=".:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH"

[ -x ./hltv ]; then
./hltv $@
fi


Copy the lines above to a file in your top hlds folder (the one containing the hlds_run and hltv binaries), to a file called hltv_run. Then make it executable, chmod +x hltv_run

Now youre able to use ./hltv_run options just as if it was the normal hltv, but with a fix for the lib path :)

[RItalMan]

You did a mistake in your script, you missed an "if" before the

[ -x ./hltv ]; then

Thank you for your tip !

[bunjiboys]

Actually, its not required. At least not on any of the machines I've got at home (2 FreeBSD and one Debian Linux), since the [ it self is a registered command subsiding in /bin/[.

You can even do a 'man [' :)

[RItalMan]

I had a Debian too, and I was told by the system there is an error :

using your script :

#/bin/sh
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=".:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH"
[ -x ./hltv ]; then
./hltv $@
fi

returns :

./hltv_run: line 3: syntax error near unexpected token `then'
./hltv_run: line 3: `[ -x ./hltv ]; then'


when puting an if, it works perfectly. It's probably a problem of interpreter, i'm using bash and think it is due to that.

Asbjørn du holder for hårdt... Tak for hjælpen.

Totally ,agree, admins please sticky this thread. VERY IMportant info... I have been searching for this for a while, and on several occasions.
