libc.so.6 library is missing [solved]

[tuule_]

Hello. When i'm starting steam, i get following error in console:

You are missing the following 32-bit libraries, and Steam may not run:
libc.so.6
and ui is running after that, but no games start.
Press enter to continue: /home/tuule/.steam/root/steam.sh: line 756: /home/tuule/.steam/root/ubuntu12_32/steam: Too much symbolic link levels
 

I'm running gentoo-linux, here's some info

glibc is installed with multiarch flag, /lib32/libc.so.6 does exist.

any help will be useful, thanks

here's a solution for that bug

[Phobos Keel]

followed tuule_'s link and made a simple script that can fix this. anyway i hope in further official updates

[Phobos Keel]

still not fixed on gentoo

[Phobos Keel]

just found the real fix (at least for me) : https://www.reddit.com/r/archlinux/comments/35s0rl/steam_missing_libraries_and_suggested_fix/

[lostsoulf]

Ok here is solution https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Steam/Troubleshooting#Missing_libc


$ cd ~/.local/share/Steam/
$ sudo ./steam.sh --reset
