having a few issues with HLTV, in fact I can't get it to run for some reason. It returns this error:

QUOTE

./hltv: error while loading shared libraries: libhlwon.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

i'm running Redhat 9.0 with hlds_l 3.1.1.0 and ns2.0. The .so file is present in the hlds_l directory. hlds runs fine.

Any help much appreciated.

ok I've fixed this. Not sure if this is the best way...

added the path to the .so file into /etc/ld.so.conf then did a ldconfig -v

Meh, I am getting the same error. How did u fix this again? I am still learning linux so a small step by step would be useful, like the exact link to the file.

I use:

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/home/yo/servers/27035/hlds_l/:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH

Oh, thanks, it works perfectly now.

This should probably be stickied so others can see how to fix the hltv problem in linux.

gg to this thread saved me alot of time!

gg to the person who found you the thread too lachie! ;p

As I said, need to sticky this immediately, its a lot of help.

mm any way to get around having to type that 'export LD_LIB....' stuff each time I login to SSH?

yes, add the halflife directory to the ld.so.conf file

Add the export line to your .bash_profile.

If you use tcsh or csh as your shell, add this to your .tcshrc or .cshrc:

setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH /home/yo/servers/27035/hlds_l/:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
(note that there is no equals sign)

Yikes, this still isn't stickied

whoa that helped thx

omg admin, plz sticky this. I keep forgetting and it takes me 10 mins to find it!
