<div class="IPBDescription">Need a lil help with my server, it dies!</div> Alright, I'm running my server on a Linux box, latest hlds_l and all, and CS and TFC run fine, but I don't get anything working properly when I go run NS, I get the following output:

Why is it doing this? The file was binary transfered to the server, so it shouldn't be having this trouble. The include file (libstd.c) a standard C library should already be included in the compiled .so file, but it's saying it can't find it....HELP!

    I'm not absolutely 100% sure on this, but it sounds to me like you have 3 options.....

    install the latest gcc updates and "libstdc"(not sure on the name) updates....

    if that doesnt work, then find an .so with a name similar to the one you're missing but hopefully of a higher version number and symlink it to be the file that's missing

    go and straight copy that missing .so from some other computer right into wherever your other libstcc++ .so's are



    again, I only know enough about linux to get around from day to day, if someone has a better solution then please ignore mine

    I'll try that, flayra seems to have just pinned something about something similar to this, I'm looking there as well.

    The problem is this - your version of the libstdc library is a different version to the one that the game expects/needs to run.

    If I had read this earlier I would have said "DONT UPGRADE YOUR GCC LIBRARIES !!!!!". All this will do is land you in a world of pain. Messing with gcc is a sure way to hose your box unfortunately. Its not your system that is out of date - its the library that NS requires to run that is old.

    Information we need is this: What flavour and version of linux are you running. What version of gcc are you running ?

    The error clearly states that the NS game code is requiring the shared library file libstdc++-libc6.1-1.so.2. Do you have a copy of this on your system ( I doubt it as this would not be a problem if you did).

    I can outline the solution that I followed when I revceived this error running on a RedHat 7.1 box:

    Checked /usr/lib for the gcc libraries present, noted that libstdc++lib6.1-1.so.2 did not exist.

    Created a symbolic link to the libstdclib++-libc file that DID exist i.e.

    ln -s libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3 libstdc++-libc6.1-1.so.2

    Re-ran the code and it all worked fine.

    Your version of gcc may be different to the one I was using, but following the example above should get you on the right track.

    Hope that helps...

    I did on the file name and found nothing, I'm not going to look up every individual part of it...
