I installed the half life server through the ports collection. It extracted everything to /compat/linux/usr/games/hlds_l. I then typed cp libhlwon.so /etc/ld.so.conf and then typed ldconfig. Ok, now when I try to start the server, ./hlds_run... I get a permission error. I did this while su'd to root, and while under a wheel acct. I'm telnetting to a computer at work, by the way. Am I missing something?

Did the server place a configuration file anywhere? If so, take a look at that. Remember the warning you got earlier? Also check to make sure the binary is executable. It may not be (although it should be). The exact error might help too. :)

All I know is that my friend telnetted in last night, and did a make world... which seemed to fix what I screwed up, whatever it was. So then I just did a make install...
