Setting up a good gameserver takes some practice with all the different modules involved. Most of the time its a pretty straight forward endeavor.

You need your basic files 1st,

Halflife:
ftp://ftp.planetmirror.com/pub/gameaholic/games/action/half-life/official/hlds_l_3110_full.bin

Counter-Strike mod:
http://www.jetstreamgames.co.nz/files/pub/halflife/cstrike/cs_15_full.tar.gz

Adminmod:
http://easynews.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/halflifeadmin/halflife-admin-2.50.52.tgz

After getting those files, you want to type:
chmod +x hlds_l_3110_full.bin
then type..
./hlds_l_3110_full.bin
That should extract hlds_l_3110_full.tar.gz and you type
tar zxvf hlds_l_3110_full.tar.gz
That will create a hlds_l folder, Now you get couter-strike up by typing:
tar zxvf cs_15_full.tar.gz
That will create a cstrike folder, and you want to move it in your hlds_l folder with this command:
mv cstrike hlds_l
Now for Adminmod, type:
tar zxvf halflife-admin-2.50.52.tgz
Which creates a Adminmod dir, type:
cd Adminmod
Now lets install, type
./install_admin
And go through the prompts, after that your ready to go. Just edit your configuration files to your liking and voila.

I get the following error when I try.
chmod +x hlds_l_3110_full.bin
./hlds_l_3110_full.bin
bash: ./hlds_l_3110_full.bin: cannot execute binary file.

Any suggestions?

I'm running
Linux Mandrake release 7.1b

http://ds2.minefields.net/hlds_l_3110_full.tar.gz

There's the file decompressed. Enjoy :)

Yes I am aware of the compiling method you do with the directories but... I am running mandrake 9.1 and when I try to compile anything it tells me that there's no compilier and suggests there's something wrong with the $path or something.  I know I have gcc, it says it's installed.  Please help, I can't compile anything unless I know what's wrong.

My short tenure with Mandrake was for similar reasons, it may be a Linux package and capable of doing anything any other Linux box can do but from what I gather it's not cut out do do any "server work" I gather from the install and running of the OS it's more like a desktop distro.

Again...my 2 cents worth.

If you are going to setup a machine as a server, build it like one, cut off as much "fat" as you can and make it lean, Linux by default will install some stuff I've never used but I also never took the time to go and hunt down every package.

I prefer the RH flavor myself.

Which one of me are you talking to?
