SteamCMD not installing on Ubuntu 20.04 and 22.04

[Ruffneck]

Hi all,

I am trying to install SteamCMD on my Ubuntu server. I can't get it to work though.

Here are my steps:

1. sudo add-apt-repository multiverse
2. sudo apt install software-properties-common
3. sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
4. sudo apt update
5. sudo apt install lib32z1 lib32gcc1 lib32gcc-s1 libstdc++6:i386 gcc-multilib
6. sudo apt install steamcmd

Then I switch to user 'steam' and start 'steamcmd'.

Then this happens after some downloading/installing:

.........
[----] Cleaning up...
[----] Update complete, launching Steamcmd...
Redirecting stderr to '/home/steam/.steam/logs/stderr.txt'

dlmopen libSDL3.so.0 failed: libSDL3.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
CreateBoundSocket: failed to create socket, error EAFNOSUPPORT (97)
OK

I have tried this procedure on 4 different Ubuntu servers all running 20.04 and 22.04.

What am I doing wrong here?

Regards,

Marcel

I wonder what this is about.
The latest beta version if SDL is 2.28 ...

Just wanted to say that I have the same issue and like you, I've tried multiple times but each time it fails to find/load those object files.

After the big Steam platform update, I started getting the steamservice.so and libSDL3.so.0 errors on existing installs. However it still works and can download servers.
I don't get a CreateBoundSocket error. Maybe focus on that.

Ah, I do have something called libSDL3...

eike@track:~$ locate -i libSDL3
/home/eike/.steam/ubuntu12_32/libSDL3.so.0
/home/eike/.steam/ubuntu12_32/libSDL3_ttf.so.0
/home/eike/.steam/ubuntu12_64/libSDL3.so.0
/home/eike/.steam/ubuntu12_64/libSDL3_ttf.so.0

Maybe you can make SteamCMD use that one?

I am missing those files, can you please ZIP them so I can download them and put them (hopefully) to use?

And do you also have steamservice.so on your system?

[Ruffneck]

I found this thread as well, seems like identical issue.

Well, I would do that, but I advise to never use binaries from foreign people on the net. ;)

Would you first install locate, do an "updatedb" and run "locate -i libSDL3" yourself to make sure you've got them nowhere? Because I find that unlikely...

[Ruffneck]

I am very familiar with updatedb and locate :)

But sadly the files are not located on the server...

Further on I am doing this on an isolated server, so if you do sent infected binaries I would not like it but it would also not harm my network ;)

[Zyro]

Ok, so you'd give me one of your mail addresses? Or should I use some free hoster?

[Ruffneck]

Is it okay if I add you as friend? You can always unfriend me afterwards :) But I'm a nice guy, you'll see ;)

[Zyro]

Of course! I'll kick you out afterwards! ;)

[Ruffneck]

Excellent :)
