Yeah, the Linux version is seems a little shaky right now. If you search on 'linux', you'll find some other threads with the messy details. Someone is going to try to recompile a new metamod version. Someone else is adding some missing files to the linux version...

I've gone about as far as my linux knowledge will take me, so I'm just gonna keep checking back. I know that it'll get worked out and it'll be just great.
