Hlds Having A Tanty

<div class="IPBDescription">Couldn't get DLL API!</div> Here's the story, my HLDS was running fine with NS, tried my hand at getting ClanMod and AdminMod running on it. After doing so decided to do a clean install of the HLDS (3.1.1.1d) and NS (2.0). I had also just installed the debian <a href='http://packages.debian.org/stable/editors/vim.html' target='_blank'>VIM</a> package which also installed the <a href='http://packages.debian.org/stable/libs/libgpmg1.html' target='_blank'>libgpmg1 package</a> as a dependency.

After the clean install on debian (3.0r1), hlds 3.1.1.1d, ns2.0 (with the replacement ns_i386.so file) I get the following error:

I don't believe this is an NS specific problem as it also occurs when trying to run *shudders* CS, of course with the relevant CS .so file in the error message. As I said, this might not be an NS specific problem, but regardless, any help please?

    haha it runs, just not well. I mainly just use it once in a while with only myself when I want to test one specific thing. So it never has a large amount of buildings or players. Unless I'm bored.

    Are you using one of the beta ns_i386.so's? from the public beta forum?

    Nop. I'm using the replacement ns_i386.so to run 2.0 on 3.1.1.1 servers from the download page, <a href='http://www.natural-selection.org/ns_i386-3.1.1.1.so.gz' target='_blank'>this link (http://www.natural-selection.org/ns_i386-3.1.1.1.so.gz)</a> to be exact.

    This file is corrupt, or there's a serious problem with the dynamic linker. The former is more likely. Did you unzip the NS server zipfile using "unzip -a"? (don't use -a).

    *edit* hrm, there's another fellow with a very similar problem. He reports that 3.1.1.1 doesn't crash, but loading up 3.1.1.1d does...

    Check the md5sum - mine is:

    I've always made sure I didn't use the -a flag when unzipping the ns ded server.

    Meanwhile, I just did a clean install of the HLDS/NS again and well it's working again and I don't believe I have done anything different. I would've thought that maybe the gz file for the replacement .so file is corrupt, but I didn't redownload it and used the same gz file from when it was stuffing up. So my guess is maybe the replacement .so was getting corrupted while being gunzipped and I was just lucky for it to gunzip properly again?

    Thanks for everyone's help though.

    Our server is the same way, he updated to 3.1.1.1d on all cs servers, then tried the ns one and it crashed. we are having to run 3.1.1.1 on ns.
