[SOLVED Jan 2018]Missing 32-bit libraries: LibGL.so.1 libdrm.so.2 //Had to add i386 architecture for 32 bit support.

[xDiscoPotatox]

LINUX DEBIAN 9 with AMD64 Architecture has these errors.

Hi, I'm using Kali Linux Debian 9 2017.3.2 (kali-rolling)
This works for all debian linux including mine.
SOLUTION

• Check your default Architecture by using:
  

  sudo dpkg --print-architecture

• You will get your default Architecture which would be amd64.
  
• We need to add i386 Architecture.
  Use this code:
  

  sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386

• Just to verify that it has been added successfully, use this code:
  

  sudo dpkg --print-foreign-architectures

• If it has been added, proceed to update in order to get the 32 bit packages.
  Use Code:
  

  sudo apt update

• Now try installing steam from the updated repository.
  

  sudo apt-get install steam

• Since steam is not permitted to run as root by default.
  It is advised to run steam as a non-root user.
  Just create a non-root user and run steam from that, you should be okay.
  
  If you are persistent, follow these steps:
  
  1. Open /usr/bin/steam
     

      nano /usr/bin/steam

  2. Comment or Delete these lines:
     if [ "$(id -u)" == "0" ]; then
     show_message --error $"Cannot run as root user"
     exit 1
     fi
     
  3. Open steam.

You should be fine after this. If not, comment here and I'll try to solve it further.
