Now I am not entirely new to setting up srcds but can't seem to get this one running. I rent my server from host. I followed wiki, etc but can't seem to get it started up. I have tried starting with srcds_run as per documentation as well as srcds_linux and srcds_i486. I have checked to make sure everything is in right place. Now to be sure all files need I uploaded NMRIH server to same setup and it started up without problems using i486.

Any suggestions? I have tried to enable logging but never gets that far.

Wait for KillerMonkey, He'll advise you correctly

Is the srcds_run marked executable? You shouldn't start the server with anything but srcds_run. Make sure you are supplying the "-game" tag properly.

I can't help any further without a console output of some sort or and explicit listing of commands used.

Ok so I have been in contact with my host.

Does this info help any?

Add

-debug

to the command line. Sorry forgot to have you do that before.

32 vs 64 bit shouldn't be an issue. Any 64-bit OS virtualizes 32-bit processes (like WoW64 for Windows). The problem will lie in making sure you have the proper 32-bit libraries to support the mod and srcds.

NMRIH is a steam hosted mod, correct? It does not run off of the Orange Box Engine (Source SDK Base 2007)?

[malomodo]

Regarding the debug:

./srcds_run -debug -game gesource - looks like he did that. I will ask tomorrow if more output. Looks like there was a debug.log

I gave him the link to this thread: http://forums.geshl2.com/index.php/topic,5836.msg62066.html#msg62066 which I believe is what you are referring to? He said he would look at it tomorrow.

NMRIH = No More Room in Hell and no you can't download it via Steam (HL2 mod). And yes I believe it is as per wikipeia.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/No_More_Room_in_Hell

Not that it really matters but have had another hl2 mod running same set up called Fistful of Frags https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Fistful_of_Frags. So was a little disappointed when Gesource it didn't want to seem to start. I am really impressed with it. My fist impression was excellent. Hoping I can get a server up as can probably get some community members playing it as well.

[killermonkey]

Well 4.2 removes the libcurl requirement since I baked it into the .so this time around.

I would need to know what is causing / leading up to the segfault in order to direct you further. It may just be a bad install. Please make sure he is running v4.2.2

[malomodo]

Yeah I will try uploading server files again...just to be sure. This is the link to latest FULL version:

http://www.moddb.com/mods/goldeneye-source/downloads/goldeneye-source-v42-server-zip

then patch with http://update.geshl2.com/installer/GoldenEye_Source_v4.2.2_server_patch.zip.

Correct?

[killermonkey]

correct

I can confirm the same issue with CentOS 6.3, gesource doesn't launch and causes seg fault.  I've tested cs and tf2 and they work fine.

Just because CS and TF2 work does not mean anything.

They run on completely different binaries, and I am not talking about the server_i486.so, they run on different engines and different dedicated server backends.

I believe someone elses solution was to make sure they had the "orangebox" game installed via the steam executable.

I believe the command is: steam command update "orangebox"

orangebox was the only game I installed initially, I only installed other games after to test those. 

I have also wiped the OS and redid it, same result, that is with "./steam -command update -game "orangebox" -dir srcds_l"

I am gonna be honest, linux dumps are worthless. I really can't help you, centOS is not supported by Valve or us. Suggest using Ubuntu if you can. This could be a simple missing library.

Have you run: ldd server_i486.so ??

If not, try that, might lead you to whats missing.

Well I give up.  I gave Ubuntu 11.10 a go as well and the same EXACT thing happens.  You're probably right about missing library or something.  My provider's minimal images probably have something that old orangebox engine needs.

EDIT: scratch that!! I was missing libssl0.9.8, after installing that it worked!! Thanks.

Digging even deeper into why this happens, newer linux versions updated libssl.so.0.9.8 to libssl.so.10.  the newest version should be backward compatible, so create a symbolic link to it and srcds should run gesource just fine

sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libssl.so.1.0.0 /usr/lib/libssl.so.0.9.8
