Re: [hlds_linux] Troubles installing hlds on FC3
Sounds like ur version of tar doesn't understand xzUf which version do you have? tar --version should tell you. Steve / K - Original Message - From: Andy Townsend [EMAIL PROTECTED] 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.

RE: [hlds_linux] Troubles installing hlds on FC3
I've tried the latest installer from steampowered.com and from a few other sites. No luck with any of them so far. I tried tar xzf LinuxHldsUpdateTool_13.pkg as well. Still no joy.

Still got plenty of space, and I did try deleting that hidden steam folder when I tried some new installers.

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.

tar xzf LinuxHldsUpdateTool_13.pkg Should work with just about every version of tar. Check you also have gunzip installed.

RE: [hlds_linux] Troubles installing hlds on FC3
Looks like its working now, ended up putting it into another directory and chmod 777 'ing it. Tar was apparently up to date, just didn't like running in that directory it was in to start with.
