Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:

I justed reinstall my Gentoo yesterday night, because steam wasn't working anymore, and I thought maybe something was break. So installed steam in my new fresh installation, but when I try to launch steam, it doesn't work again.

Steps for reproducing this issue:

  1. Install steam-launcher with emerge
  2. Launch steam-launcher

I don't know if this can help, but because I didn't want to enable the 32 bits support for all packages, I did that just for the steam dependencies. Maybe I forgot a 32 bits support for one dependency ?

Have you tried emerging the games-util/steam-meta package?

I finally find how to solve the problems, I had to compile the Nvidia drivers with 32 bits support

Thank you very much.
