steam on kali linux [Backtrack 6]

[guaiacol]

I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask this, but here it is:
I'm trying to install steam on Kali Linux, and I downloaded .deb file. after I start it, software center opens, and then it just closes. after that I tried installing it from the terminal with "dpkg" command and this shows up

Selecting previously unselected package steam-launcher.
(Reading database ... 274575 files and directories currently installed.)
Unpacking steam-launcher (from steam_latest.deb) ...
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of steam-launcher:
steam-launcher depends on jockey-common; however:
Package jockey-common is not installed.
steam-launcher depends on libc6 (>= 2.15); however:
Version of libc6:i386 on system is 2.13-38.

dpkg: error processing steam-launcher (--install):
dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
Processing triggers for man-db ...
Processing triggers for desktop-file-utils ...
Processing triggers for gnome-menus ...
Processing triggers for hicolor-icon-theme ...
Errors were encountered while processing:
steam-launcher

A Steam icon then appears in the start menu, but when I click on it, error shows up saying "can't run as rout user"
I know that only Ubuntu 12.04 supports Steam, but since Kali is a new operating system, and is partially Ubuntu based, is there any chance I could properly install Steam on it?

Thanks!

That is because Kali Linux always run as "root"
so, if u install something in Kali, u need to modify some files
for this can run in a root mode.
i finished install Kali, so in a couple of day maybe i will install steam.
and can tell u if this work or not

and sorry for my english xD!!!
.. i see this post:

Never mind, I realized that the wrapper is a BASH script, so I went in and edited it. I found this in /usr/bin/steam
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Don't allow running as root
if [ "$(id -u)" == "0" ]; then
show_message --error $"Cannot run as root user"
exit 1
fi
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(if you don't know how to fix it, don't run as root tongue)

Browse to /usr/bin/
find steam and edit the file and in the middle area find this

# Don’t allow running as root

if [ "$(id -u)" == "0" ]; then
show_message –error $”Cannot run as root user”
exit 1
fi

and replace the 0 with a 1 like this
