Steam not starting on Ubuntu 16.04

Question

I'm trying to install Steam onto my computer in Ubuntu 16.04, but whenever I try to start steam I get this error message:

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

libc.so.6

How do I fix this?

Answer 1

Try doing this:

1. find | grep libc.so.6
2. Copy/Remember the path shown by the command's output
3. Create a link to the /lib folder using sudo ln -s <your-libc-path-here> /lib/libc.so.6

Guessing this should solve it.
