Error loading libXft.so.2

[deliriuM]

Hey,

I'm trying to run a counter-strike 1.6 server (hlds) on a slackware 13.0 machine, but I continue getting these errors:

./hlds_run: line 321: 8644 Segmentation fault $HL_CMD

I read loads of articles, but there's no known solution. I found an article for debian, where the problem was from missing lib packages:
# apt-get install libdb4.6-dev
# apt-get install libc6
# apt-get install libc6-dev
# apt-get install libc6-i686
# apt-get install libgcc1-dbg
# apt-get install gcc-4.1-base


So, just today when I restarted the machine I noticed this error:

I think it's possible, that because of it, i'm getting the segfault problems. Is there a way to fix that?

Welcome to the forums!

These packages should already be installed per default. With an honourable mention, because gcc is at version 4.3.3

# apt-get install libdb4.6-dev
# apt-get install libc6
# apt-get install libgcc1-dbg
# apt-get install gcc-4.1-base

These I couldn't find:

# apt-get install libc6-dev
# apt-get install libc6-i686

All the libraries that your boot messages complain about (libpixman, libX11*) should be installed on a full install. If you didn't do a full install, you may want to look in to the l/ package series.

I think it's possible, that because of it, i'm getting the segfault problems. Is there a way to fix that?

I don't know if these problems are related, but its not good in any case.

-----

This ./hlds_run, is that a bash/perl/python script? You might be able to track exactly what's causing the segfault at line 321, and what's in the mysterious $HL_CMD. If it works the way I think it works, it's probably just a call to the server binary with all it's arguments... but I'm only guessing.


And, I'm curious, how did you make that screenshot of the bootmessages? Is it running in a VM?

Actually it's not a full install. I don't remember what exactly i cut off, but I haven't installed KDE, some X applications for sure.

I've installed all the lib packages, and we'll see.
Another possible reason is, that I'm running the server from a non-root user. On a second machine I've started them through root and I'm expecting the results

If that doesn't help, I'll reinstall the OS using full install (all packages).

You should be able to safely leave out e/ kde/ kdei/ xap/ t/ tcl/ y/ and such.
I used to think all you really needed was a/ ap/ d/ l/ and n/ but I started getting dependency troubles further down the line. In theory you should also be able to safely leave out x/ but I've noticed before that some third party apps still rely on the libraries contained in x/
You can install these separately of course, if you wish. But a full install I think is the safe choice here, and leaving out e/ kde/ kdei/ xap/ t/ tcl/ y/ should not cause too many problems

These numbers {7373,27280,8570}, they are PIDs?

They're not pids. Not sure what they are.
