There is a 'hack' you can do which worked fine for me on the dedicated box I run which is still on glib 2.2.x.... Simply I downloaded the gentoo stage3 tarball.. Untarred into a folder (/root/gentoo for me). Made a folder /root/gentoo/home/steam and copied the contents of my existing steam folder over. did a mount -t proc none /root/gentoo/proc then chrooted in.. env-update and a source /etc/profile to get my gentoo environment.. Then I emerged vim (cause I like vim) created the steam user in the chroot environment, changed ownership of the steam folder and it's contents.. su - steam and run srcds_run happy as can be :). Overkill mainly.. But when you're done the whole lot can just be removed with no harm done.. So it a good temp workaround if you don't want to re-install just yet. (dedicated box - no I don't want to just yet ;)) _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux
