I know its old but no answer exists so I recommend you try:
sudo apt-get remove --purge steam
then
sudo apt-get install steam
This should auto install it from the official repo's and work just fine.
Ah. yes. This problem has been a problem for many steam users on linux systems... This worked for me..
- Make sure you are connected to the internet
- then try
sudo apt-get update
- then
sudo apt-get install libc6-i386
If that doesn't work, try:
find /lib -name libc.so.6
ln -s /lib/i386-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 /lib/libc.so.6
mkdir ~/steamcmd2 && cd $_
wget http://media.steampowered.com/client/steamcmd_linux.tar.gz
tar -xvzf steamcmd_linux.tar.gz
./steamcmd.sh
Then type in ./steam.sh
that worked for me, i hope it helped you.
P.S. I'm running Linux Ubuntu MATE 16.4
