Centos 7 Xfce Steam libc.so.6 missing

Post by LordTroy » 2018/11/11 10:53:41

soo, here's and interesting one for you guys...

upon installing steam client on centos 7 with Xfce gui, it refuses to run with error message
You are missing the following 32-bit libraries, and Steam may not run:
libc.so.6
here was the attempt at downloading said file from following a topic raised on fedora 28 https://www.reddit.com/r/Fedora/comment ... y_missing/.

Code: Select all

Package glibc-2.17-222.el7.i686 already installed and latest version
Nothing to do

Since you already have the i686 glibc package installed, I'd say you need more information about exactly why it thinks it cannot find it.
The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.
Info for USB installs on http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/InstallFromUSBkey
CentOS 5 and 6 are deadest, do not use them.
Use the FAQ Luke

you know, with the amount of little annoying issues i have on this linux project, i'm almost thinking there's just one little file somewhere that will fix everything...
