I get this if I'm doing this on a fat32 drive, or if there is a permission issue on the directory I'm installing to. I ended up logging in as root and creating a directory for steam and giving root ownership of the directory. Then it worked. YMMV, as I'm running Slackware 10.0

This is a multi-part message in MIME format. -- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] Hi
Recently setup a fedora box to put some css game servers on. First time i did it, it installed fine but i recently formatted the drive. Now when i download the hldsupdatetool.bin and run steam from that, it tells me its getting version 13 of the Steam HLDS Update Tool.
Then it errors, something along the line of
tar: option requires an argument -- C Try `tar --help' for more information. update failed, please run "tar xzUf LinuxHldsUpdateTool_13.pkg" to install the latest steam binary, errno 115 "Operation now in progress"
It leaves a .pkg file in root called LinuxHldsUpdateTool_13.pkg. It instructs you to tar xzUF LinuxHldsUpdateTool_13.pkg and then run the steam update again.
However when i do this i get the same error message as before.
Any ideas or anyone had this before?
Any hlep is greatly appreciated.
Andy
