[Solved] Steam error

Hi, I tried to run steam on my lenovo thinkpad, but when I run it, I get this error

Running Steam on arch rolling 64-bit

The laptop is equipped with amd ryzen 7 5700u, and I installed lib32-amdvlk, lib32-amdgpu-pro-libgl
but the problem continue.

Any solution?

Re: [Solved] Steam error

the error is right there:

Error: You are missing the following 32-bit libraries, and Steam may not run:
libGL.so.1

did you enable multilib before installing steam ?
follow this: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Steam

EDIT:

pacman -Qo /usr/lib32/libGL.so.1
/usr/lib32/libGL.so.1 is owned by lib32-libglvnd 1.3.4-1

pacman -Qi lib32-libglvnd
Name            : lib32-libglvnd

so as you can see that file is required by the steam package, so pretty much as i said originally you need to enable multilib

Re: [Solved] Steam error

Steam itself is in multilib, so I'm not sure where they got Steam from.
