Linux Install Error, missing vpk_linux32

Obligatory information:

I am using the native Linux client. Imagemagick and WINE are installed. I have read the troubleshooting section, and files are properly located in "steam\steamapps\common\Team Fortress 2\tf\custom\CleanTF2plus".

Issue:

When executing the ./generate.sh script, I receive the following error:

Error: unable to find bin/vpk_linux32. Make sure you're not using symbolic links that prevent access to the bin folder, and that CleanTF2plus is inside the custom folder. As it turns out (Maybe since the 64-bit patch?), Valve no longer includes vpk_linux32 in the "*/steamapps/common/Team Fortress 2/tf/bin/" directory. There isn't even a 64-bit equivalent present. This is a clean install of the game.

My "*/steamapps/common/Team Fortress 2/tf/bin/" directory contains only 2 folders. One folder is simply titled "x64" (Which is empty), and the other folder is "linux64" , which contains 2 files: "client.so" , and "server.so".

I'm not a real developer or anything, but I am assuming the vpk_linux32 is some type of library file the script relies on to operate. I tried to manually source and place this file into */bin/ directory, but could not find it anywhere.

Running the *.bat version of the generate.sh script using WINE returns the same errors.
