Steam Problem Dependecy

[ct2034]

I am trying do install steam on a frechly installed and fully updated ubuntu 12.10.
I get the message:

You are missing the following 32-bit libraries, and Steam may not run:
not

What can i do? i guess there is no such package ...

I have the same problem, and allow me to clarify for anyone else-

Upon opening the steam_latest.deb file, the most recent Steam Linux download, it installs and pops up saying


"Steam Installer
Start Steam to complete installation of the Steam for the current user."

After pressing the "Start Steam" button, which is the only other option from "Close", the error message comes up saying

"You are missing the following 32-bit libraries, and Steam may not run:
not"




I have tried reinstalling Steam (of course), I could not find any updates in 'sudo apt-get upgrade', I have even formatted the computer and reinstalled Ubuntu 12.10 (AMD64). Any help would be much appreciated.

Try:

sudo apt-get install ia32-libs

I am having these same issues. I tried that terminal command and it didn't work

sudo apt-get install ai32-libs

*then*

I believe it is ia32-libs, and I contacted melon to change it. I am installing it now and will report how it goes.

Edit: I ran the code in the terminal and it worked. I went to the error pop-up to close it, and Steam came up doing an update, before the package was even installed. But yes - it works. Many thanks!

You are correct. It is downloading how.

Hope it works. THANKS!

EDIT: it worked. Downloading TF2 now.

[earthmeLon]

Thanks guys. Edited the post. That should fix your problem. See you in TF2

If you guys have any problems just double clicking the steam deb, install gdebi and install the steam deb with it:

sudo gdebi /path/to/steam.deb

After trying to run Steam and getting this message twice in a row:

You are missing the following 32-bit libraries, and Steam may not run: 
not

I pasted the edited line from earthmelon into the terminal, and get this:

Reading package lists... Done

The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:

I just uninstalled an older version of Ubuntu and reinstalled 12.10 with Win7.

Help me, oh wise ones.

I thank you both, I had the same problem and now it's fixed.
