 |
|
Hi, yesterday evening before I went to bed I was starting an update (that run well except for chrome, but that's nothing new).
The problem is that now I can't start Steam anymore. When I try to start it I get the following error:
| Code: |
Running Steam on gentoo 64-bit
STEAM_RUNTIME is enabled by the user
Error: You are missing the following 32-bit libraries, and Steam may not run:
libc.so.6
mktemp: error while loading shared libraries: /usr/lib32/libc.so.6: invalid ELF header
Error:
cat: error while loading shared libraries: /usr/lib32/libc.so.6: invalid ELF header
Press enter to continue:
|
However the libc.so.6 is there in my /usr/lib32/ folder. Because I thought that there may be a possible corruption fo the shared library, I reemerged glibc (I have abi_x86_32 set as a global use flag), but I'm still Steam just refuses to start. Do you have any ideas what may cause this? |

This is saying the bundled libc is currupt.
Might be worth running the steam repair

Somewhere (sorry, I can't seem to find the link any more) I read about a similar issue, and a working workaround was to delete the libc file that comes bundled with Steam, so that the system-installed libc is being loaded instead. I don't have access to a machine with Steam installed right now, but I'd guess the file should be somewhere in ~/.steam/steam/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime/ - I wouldn't completely delete it, but rename it or move it to a different folder, so you can put it back if this workaround doesn't help you.
Edit: I've found the source of my claim: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Steam#Steam_runtime_issues |
