[Solved] Steam failed to load module "xapp-gtk3-module"

When I tried to start steam today I got the following output:

Running Steam on arch rolling 64-bit
STEAM_RUNTIME is enabled automatically

Now to me the key issue is:

Gtk-Message: Failed to load module "xapp-gtk3-module"

So how can I install this module? Or does the error occur because of something different?
I tried to reinstall steam, that didn't help.

Re: [Solved] Steam failed to load module "xapp-gtk3-module"

You have "too short file" errors, there appears to be some corruption of a few libraries here, double check with

pacman -Qkk lib32-libelf

and reinstall that, maybe check your last pacman update and reinstall packages from there.

Ahh thanks an reinstallation of

 lib32-libelf 

fixed the issue. Thanks!
