MetaMod

I've been having some trouble getting MetaMod installed on my linux server. I uploaded server_i486.so to cstrike/addons/metamod/bin, created cstrike/addons/metamod/metaplugins.ini, and added GameBin |gameinfo_path|addons/metamod/bin to gameinfo.txt. But when I start my server, metamod doesn't load, and the command 'meta' says unknown command.
Help?

Did you typed meta in the server's console ? and not in your client console. (use hlsw for that)
Check the gameinfo.txt and see if the line that u added is stil there.If it's not there than it gets rewrited everytime. Read the
installation guide and read the part for linux on how to fix that.
Let me know if that helped you.

can you use the code tags in your post and copy paste exactly the line from gameinfo.txt.

Still doesn't load with your gameinfo.txt, Boo. The only problem I can see is that it uses the srcds_i686 binary because the server has a P4 processer, but the metamod binary is named srcds_i486. But I dont think thats the problem, because mani admin is named _i486, and it works.

I've tried reuploading the files. I even rm -rf'd the whole directory and started over. Nothing.
Also, there are only 2 files, and one file to edit. Not much that I can put in the wrong place.. server_i486.so is in cstrike/addons/metamod/bin, metaplugins.ini is in cstrike/addons/metamod, and gameinfo.txt is edited and in cstrike.

I'm pretty much having the exact same problem as this guy:

EDIT:
I found someone who got it to work by putting this in gameinfo:
GameBin |gameinfo_path|addons/metamod/bin/.
But now, I get this error:
Engine requested unknown interface before GameDLL was known!

Tried upgrading GCC, nothing. I heard it needed version 3.4.1+, so I upgraded to 3.4.6

Well, I upgraded, and I still get the same result.. I tried using older versions of metamod, and 1.2 will load, but it gives an error about GameDLL missing (I'm guessing because only the new version works with the new updates.)
