In this thread, I'm just want to share a problem that I find when I'm maintaning a server.
The errors:
So, as a maintaner I have to update a server with new modified and edited plugin. However suddenly, I have encountered this problem:

As this problem is new for me. So, I have searched for the solutions in the internet but failed.
I have asked the owner of the server, whether he has hosted his server using Linux or Windows. Then he said he has using Linux. So, I think maybe that is the problem but actually it is not.
What cause it to happen?
I have figured it out the solution. When this problem happen, there 2 possible thing that can cause it:
1. You are not running AMX Mod X at all. How to know that? Just type "meta list" your console. Then if it give this (it mean you are not running any AMX Mod X version):

2. You are using different version of AMX Mod X version with your server when compiling a plugin.
What I mean here is the server that I mantain is using AMX Mod X version 1.8.2 while I'm using AMX Mod X version 1.8.3 to compile the plugin. So, when I installed the compiled plugin in the server, it will give this error:

Feel free to suggest any other possible solutions.

This is my suggestion to solve the problems:
1. You have to download the latest AMX Mod X version or at least have AMX Mod X being installed in your server.
2. You have to use the same AMX Mod X version with your server when compiling the plugin.
