Missing 32 bit library

[Doug]

I installed Steam onto Ubuntu and I get the following error message:

"You are missing the following 32-bit libraries, and Steam may not run:
not"

I have no idea what this means, any help would be appreciated!

This should be fixed in the latest update:
http://repo.steampowered.com/steam/archive/precise/steam_latest.deb

After you install it, do:
steam --reset

Thank you very much.

Run this command in the terminal.

Ctrl + Alt + T.

slouken, I'm getting a similar problem. I downloaded steam, ran it and i get the error:
E: Unable to locate package libgl1-mesa-dri
E: Unable to locate package libgl1-mesa-glx
E: Unable to locate package libc6

and I redownloaded through the link you posted.

I tried doing steam --reset in the terminal, but that did not fix it.

I'm using ubuntu 12.10 64 bit


When I type steam into the terminal, i get this and the package installer that always fails.

Package libgl1-mesa-dri:i386 needs to be installed
Package libgl1-mesa-glx:i386 needs to be installed
Package libc6:i386 needs to be installed

How do i fix this?

Thanks to Aikari Tsero, we figured this out.

if [ "$(dpkg --print-architecture)" = "amd64" ] && ! dpkg --print-foreign-architectures | grep i386 >/dev/null; then
echo "Fixing architectures..."
sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
fi

I'm going to add this to steamdeps so it's automatically taken care of in the future.

Thanks!

I am having the same problem. Would you just suggest to wait? Or should I perform some sort of task to expedite the process?

Forgive me, I don't understand, do I type that into terminal or do I just wait. Thanks.

Problem solved. found another thread with it where you said to run it. Ran that, steam worked. Thank you very much. Also, ubuntu has a lot of options windows should have. Like be connected to wifi and ethernet yet choose which to actually use when you want.

[slouken]

Okay, for anyone who hasn't solved it already, you can do this:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install steam-launcher
steam

(Or you can use update-manager to update steam-launcher)
