Hi,

Total newb so be gentle.

Have a centos box that I setup to run a dedicated server and it does run and I can connect until I install sourcemod....

I have tried running the newest (devel) versions and the stable version with no success.... it just hangs while loading map and I can't type anything or anything. I followed the instructions as best as i could and these are vanilla installs nothing that didn't come in metamod or sourcemod tars other then the generated metamod.vcf file thing of their website...

Here is how i start the server (works without sourcemod installed and i can connect and play):
./srcds_run -game left4dead2 +ip xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx +port 27015 -secure

this is what i get on my screen when i start with source mod installed:

[someuser@somehost left4dead2]$ ./srcds_run -game left4dead2 +maxplayers 4 +ip xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx +port 27015 -secure

Server will auto-restart if there is a crash.
Running a benchmark to measure system clock frequency...
Finished RDTSC test. To prevent the startup delay from this benchmark, set the environment variable RDTSC_FREQUENCY to 1995.000000 on this system. This value is dependent upon the CPU clock speed and architecture and should be determined separately for each server. The use of this mechanism for timing can be disabled by setting RDTSC_FREQUENCY to 'disabled'.

And All I can do is ctrl+c to stop it but I cannot connect and it just sits at the last line.... I'll provide any information I can to help.

BTW if i remove sourcemod I get a successfull start and i can type meta version and get this:

Metamod:Source version 1.9.0-dev
Build ID: 745a451f11f1f4-dev
Loaded As: Valve Server Plugin
Compiled on: Apr 14 2011
Plugin interface version: 15:14
SourceHook version: 5:5

But if I install source mod i get the above and hang.

Thank you!
