If all goes well you should now have the hldsupdatetool.bin in the srcds directory. Now we change the permission of hldsupdatetool.bin so we can execute it and extract the contents from hldsupdatetool.bin
Code:
chmod +x hldsupdatetool.bin
./hldsupdatetool.bin
when I do that I get:
hldsupdatetool.bin cannot execute binary file
I have absolutely no idea where to go from here, any ideas?
If it helps- I'm running Yellow Dog Linux 5.0.2 on my sony PS3

Yeah, it does...too bad I didn't read it first. You have to get a binary for your architecture (don't know what the PS3 is). That one worked on my machine, but mine's an x86_64.
Then try to run ./hldsupdatetool.bin again. If that does not work, or you do not have root privileges you can download the binary file we have available:
Yeah, but a binary is built for a particular environment. A PowerPC binary won't work on an x86_64 machine and vice versa. Doesn't matter that both are using Linux as the OS. Similarly, a Windows binary won't run on an x86 machine running Linux. Did you download a binary for the PS3 environment that you are try to install in?
ok, on PC there is no problem but as weibullguy said, you can't use this binary on PS3, no matter what OS you're running! you have to find PS3 binary (if is any)
