Linuxgsm: Counter-Strike 1.6 server start fails for "steamclient.so" visibility

[gauravkanojia]

User Story

As a LinuxGSM user, I want install Counter-Strike 1.6 server, so that it's available for playing.

Basic info

Distro:    Ubuntu 18.04.5 LTS
Arch:      x86_64
Kernel:    5.3.0-1034-aws
Hostname:  Counter-Strike-1.6-Server
Uptime:    0d, 0h, 49m
tmux:      tmux 2.6
glibc:     2.27

Further Information

A couple of issues:

1. Installation of Counter-Strike 1.6 server fails but succeeds eventually after multiple runs of ./csserver install or ./csserver ai. Since this succeeds eventually, it's not that a high-risk bug.
2. Starting Counter-Strike server though shows success in ./csserver details, but the server itself fails to start and is unreachable from client.
   Error log from game-server console. Checked it through ./csserver console:

[S_API FAIL] SteamAPI_Init() failed; unable to locate a running instance of Steam, or a local steamclient.dll.

I reached out on Discord Server for LinuxGSM and a moderator helped me out with the issue.

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Run ./csserver install.
2. Start the CS 1.6 server by running ./csserver start.
3. Check server details to verify the server is running, ./csserver details.
4. Check server starting logs, ./csserver console.

Expected behavior

Server should start without any errors and should be reachable.

I also tried this intially, but couldn't resolve it correctly.
