[solved] steam not launching

brizou · 2014-01-20 19:43:43

Hello everybody, since an update steam is not launching when I do a STEAM_RUNTIME=0 steam

You are missing the following 32-bit libraries, and Steam may not run:
libgcrypt.so.11

however when I do a
yaourt -S lib32-libgcrypt
it's already installed

Steam works with STEAM_RUNTIME=1 steam
Do you have any idea what is going wrong ?

As 'pacman -Ql lib32-libgcrypt' will tell you, lib32-libgcrypt doesn't have libgcrypt.so.11.

lib32-libgcrypt15 in the AUR builds the shared object file you're missing.

Thank you very much, I'm gonna have to learn more about pacman options...

I'm not familiar with Steam, but why is the lib32-libgcrypt15 needed? steam is in the repos, so it shouldn't rely on a package from the AUR.

Steam bundles it's own prebuilt libraries along with the binary, but you can use system libraries if you prefer by setting the STEAM_RUNTIME env variable to 0.

Thanks, I was just skimming through the wiki and I wasn't sure if I got https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/St … ve_runtime right.
