install libstdc++ maybe it will solve your problem , however on newer versions of linux this problem persist even with libstdc++ installed and other hl1 mods like adrenaline gamer,natural selection,opposing force,digital paintball...

Any ideas how to solve this?

type in a terminal

Code:

ls -l /usr/lib/ | grep libstdc

and post the output

Should I do that before/during/after starting server?
Before:

Code:

libstdc++.so.6
libstdc++.so.6.0.8

BTW my server's root is in /root/hlds.

that's not the output of the command i posted above

what linux distro are you using ?

Code:

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root      18 Apr  1 12:54 libstdc++.so.6 -> libstdc++.so.6.0.8
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root  909044 Dec 10  2006 libstdc++.so.6.0.8

i don't know for sure if this will fix your problem but you should try to install compat-libstdc++ package
and you didn't say what linux distribution are you using

hleV · 05-16-2009 , 11:03 Re: ESF mod HLDS on Linux.

Debian.

alexinno · 05-16-2009 , 12:02 Re: ESF mod HLDS on Linux.

there is no compat-libstdc++ package for debian based distros so i don't know what exactly should you install

in any case i just tried to run esf on my linux box and it gives me the same error , and it's strange because i remember that i tried this some time ago ( 1 year) , i have the same OS no changes and it worked then if i remember correctly it was hlds build 3651
