Steam Source DS - Segmentation fault

Hi All,

A long time ago I ran a HLDS on my Arch box.  Many moons have passed and I am using a brand new Arch Linux x86 install.
When I download the hldsupdatetool.bin file and run it I am given a "Segmentation fault" error.  I downloaded the file onto a Ubunutu box and ran it with no issues,  I copied the "steam" file found when extracting to my Arch box but get the same message.

I assume I am missing some packages.  Anyone know what could be the problem?

Thanks beforehand.

Re: Steam Source DS - Segmentation fault

Can anyone recommend another lightweight distro then to replace Arch?

Don't you require Wine to use Steam and other win games?  https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Steam 

That wiki search took less than 5 seconds by the way.

You'd be hard-pressed to find someone willing to turn you away from our cult.

Dedicated Servers run on Linux.

Isn't this a client and not a server? I would assume that there are completely different methods of going about each of the two, and isolated (client vs. server) issues as well.

Could you have been running a different version on the Ubuntu box?

Re: Steam Source DS - Segmentation fault

Nope wget the tool from the same source.  I have even tried x86 and x64 installs of Arch.
I really love Arch too hence my fight to stay with it. I love the lightweight install. I love it boots in seconds!

Is there any way of diagnosing what this error might be? Giving two words is hardly anything to go by.

Try it for yourself...

wget http://storefront.steampowered.com/down … tetool.bin
chmod +x hldsupdatetool.bin
./hldsupdatetool.bin

*Edit*

I found this in /var/log/messages.log
