its the file's executable permission you want to modify, not the home directory -

"chmod 755 hlds_run"

should work - you may have to be root if root owns the file.

also, are you issuing that entire line as a command? the "./" tells the shell to look in the present directory for the executable - so if you cd to /home/cs1/hlds first, run

./hlds_run

if you are not in that dir, then you'd run

/home/cs1/hlds/hlds_run

but not both at the same time
