Default Unable to load pb mm on Linux - 18-09-2005

I've upgraded the i386.so file from R2b46a to R2b46d on my Enterprise Linux 4 server and it doesn't appear to load. At the console when I type meta list it shows that all plugins load except for podbot (badf error). When I revert back to the R2b46a version all is ok.

I've downloaded the version d release several times thinking that the file was corrupted.

Any help is greatly appreciated.:'(

since R2B46d all podbot directories should be written in lower case sensitivity (for example "podbot" instead "PODBot"). Make sure the line in Your metamod's plugins.ini file calling Your podbot *.so file looks so:

linux addons/podbot/podbot_mm_i386.so

If it still doesn't work for You just make the screenshots (but as jpg files) of Your addons directory and podbot directory (to show me the structure of Your folders). Copy and paste also the contents of Your plugins.ini file.

ok..checked for the lower case on the directory structure as well as the call from plugins.ini and all looks well. I included 3 screenshots:

screen1 - displays directory structure
screen2 - dsplays contents of podbot
screen3 - displays contents of plugins.ini

on another note...I have another machine running an older version of redhat enterprise and I copied the entire hlds_l directory structure from from my problematic server (which is running redhat enterprise v4) to the server which is running the older version of linux and it is working perfectly. My son was able to play along with the bots and there were no problems. I mad no changes...just simply copied the entire hlds_l contents.

Only other difference from the OS is that my problem server is running on faster hardware and I'm hoping to get it working with the newer OS.

Thanks in advance!

Do You remember where did You download from the version R2B46a linux? If this version is working for You (on this faster machine), I have to ask the man compiling it for linux to compile also R2B46d (there might be a deal with some optimization switches during compiling). Then we will try again.

I located the R2B46a from somewhere on this forum. Anyway just checked my newer faster machine and OS and the version A does load without errors but the bots never join game just stay as spectators. I haven't tried version A on the older hardware and OS because its running fine with version D. I'll look forward to any updates.

This was what the D version came to fix.

It'll do the same as the other.

Can you please post your startup log while trying to run the D version. I suspect that RedHat might have incompatible libraries (they do have a history of this), and seeing the error, might help in solving it.

Just install the gdb package and add the -debug parameter to your hlds_run command line.

Also post the result of running in a shell console:
Code:
cat /proc/cpuinfo
free
uname -a

ok...back and got it to the point of loading the gdb package and running the ./hlds_run command followed by -debug. Unfortunately I'm not savy with this kind of stuff and I don't know where to find the startup log you are referring to...other than the logs directory under cstrike...but I don't think that's what you're looking for???

Yep, that's it.

Here it is, you are missing libstdc++.so.5. I'm not that familiar with Red Hat packaging but I think that the RPM package is called compat-libstdc++, so get the one for your distribution (see if you can find one with version 2.9x for best compatibility) and try it out.

If it still persists, post back. It's weird though, since PODBot mm should have the stdc++ library linked statically and this shouldn't be occurring, unless an old Makefile is still being used to create binaries.

No memory page faults? If so see if there is a newer kernel package, like 2.6.10 or 2.6.12 (not 2.6.11), unless the 2.6.9 version that Red Hat distributes was patched already.
