loki_update problem... (tribes2)

[nonz]

//I just installed Tribes2 on redhat9. When I run, loki_update I get this:

[root@shoxbox gamefiles]# loki_update
Searching for installed products... done!

Gtk-WARNING **: GModule initialization check failed: Gtk+ version too old (micro mismatch)

//So I figured... Why not just manually update it?
//I then downloaded 1.0.13 and tried to install it...

[root@shoxbox gamefiles]# ls
loki_update-full-1.0.13-x86.run tribes2-25034-cdrom-x86.run

//Oh great.... :*( Now I can't update the updater? So to get around this to be able to update my tribes2 I manually downloaded it and tried to install.... here's the bull****:

[root@shoxbox gamefiles]# ls
loki_update-full-1.0.13-x86.run tribes2-25034-cdrom-x86.run
[root@shoxbox gamefiles]# sh tribes2*

This will allow you to install loki_update:
SETUP_LIBC=glibc-2.1 ./loki_update-full-1.0.13-x86.run

To update Tribes 2, you will have to run the patch with:
sh ./tribes2-25034-cdrom-x86.run --confirm --keep

choose no when it asks to run the script
cd to tribes2-25034-cdrom (or something like that)
download this (http://icculus.org/~msphil/loki/x86/loki_patch) and copy it to tribes2-25034-cdrom/bin/Linux/x86/
cd to tribes2-25034-cdrom and run ./update.sh

//DOH! :(

[TheGimp]

chmod +x both of those files

//I was able to install the tribes2 patch, but when I did now I don't get any sound out of tribes2 with my normal user, but I get sound with root... I also wasn't able to update loki_update:

//By the way, thanks a lot for helping :)

glibx or glibc?

This isn't at all recommended by anyone other than me (definitely not by Loki -- and they did write the programs in question), but might it work to do something like SETUP_LIBC=glibc-2.2 ./loki_update-full-1.0.13-x86.run instead?

[nonz]

it was glibc, I typed it wrong... It still produces the same output. I really don't know if loki_update will even work anymore. I'm actually more concerned with getting sound for my regular user... root is the only one that can get sound when running tribes2 after i installed the latest patch. :(

[nonz]

//Okay, the sound issue is resolved, I went here for the fix:
http://faqs.lokigames.com/tribes2faq.html#103

//My only problem now is that I can't manually update loki_update.

How did you resolve this issue? I've tried changing the permissions with no success. I'm going to try looking at the code to find out what is at line 56, but if you could let me know what you discovered, I'd greatly appreciate it :D

Edit(update): Nevermind. I tried setting the permissions of the folder for everyone and checked the "include all subdirectories and files", but it appearantly didn't. Line 56 is when it tries to access the loki_patch file. All I did was make sure I had the execute permissions and it ran fine.
Except now I'm getting "/home/notman/games/tribes2/base/textures.vl2" which I know is a very common problem in the Tribes2 world. I'll have to work on that now :/

Then I get to see if I will be able to create a warrior finally once the patch is complete.
