i have verified that libncurses.so.5 is installed.

i am returning to running a linux dedicated server from years ago, before Steam. but i am not as familiar with the "new" way of running a HLDS.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Looks like you're running a 64 bit os and need to install the required 32 bit libs:

ok, fair enough. i just performed the command listed (yum install glibc.i686 libstdc++.i686), and i have the libs already, according to YUM.

Package glibc-2.17-292.el7.i686 already installed and latest version Package libstdc++-4.8.5-39.el7.i686 already installed and latest version

and even though it is a VERY BAD IDEA, i ran the launcher under root, checking to see if it was a permissions issue, and same result. as in the top post.

Still wondering how to get my server to run. Google hasn't been too forthcomming with help. I am going to try removing steam, compleatly, in case i have a bad install. Then i will start over.

ok, some progress, but still won't run. here is the output:

replay_srv.so does exist, so i don't know why it still doesn't find it.

WARNING: Failed to load 32-bit libtinfo.so.5 or libncurses.so.5. Please install (lib32tinfo5 / ncurses-libs.i686 / equivalent) to enable readline.

these are installed, so the question is how to make them visible/usable for steam.

oh, and the contents of the debug.log, with my server token filtered out:

any thoughts or ideas?

Thanks,

How did you fix it?

https://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/Linux_dedicated_server something in the troubleshooting at the bottom, maybe? it was quite some time ago, but my server seems to be running happy on a Dell PE 1950 rack server, though i did change from CentOS to Fedora Linux 33.
sorry i can't remember what was the solution, as when i update hardware, i fear i may have to go through it again.

I've fixed the issue now. it wasn't actually this that caused my server not to run, it was another issue.

Some packages are not mentioned in the standard developer wiki for gmod. For everyone who still has this issue, try to install the following packages: libtinfo5:i386 libncurses5:i386 libcurl3-gnutls:i386

i was able to fix this using

On 64-bit Debian/Ubuntu/Linux Mint run:
$ sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install lib32z1 libncurses5:i386 libbz2-1.0:i386 lib32gcc-s1 lib32stdc++6 libtinfo5:i386 libcurl3-gnutls:i386 libsdl2-2.0-0:i386

these commands
