I've tried to install Steam on my Fedora 16 PC but it just won't start.

steam_error

Here is an strace output of a steam run. Is there a way to get a more verbose output? Because the strace output says steamui.so is found and accessed: https://gist.github.com/4346104

Try to check if you have all the librarys installed, that are needed with the following command:
ldd ~/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_32/steamui.so

Ppanzi 2012-12-20 github

There seem to be no libraries missing (I already installed all libraries that where missing before I posted here):

[panzi@panzi ~]$ ldd ~/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_32/*.so|grep 'not found'|sort -u
        libcef.so => not found
        liboverride.so => not found
        libsdl2-2.0.so.0 => not found
        libsteam.so => not found
        libtier0_s.so => not found
        libvstdlib_s.so => not found
[panzi@panzi ~]$ export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$HOME/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_32/:/home/panzi/lib
[panzi@panzi ~]$ ldd ~/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_32/*.so|grep 'not found'|sort -u
[panzi@panzi ~]$

For me this was from missing 32-bit opengl libraries, after installing those (sudo yum install mesa-libGL.i686), I get a completely different error. Fun.

Ppanzi 2012-12-26 github

Well I have those installed. I know because I play some Win32 games using wine.

I have same issue on Fedora 17 x86_64.

I had the same initial issue, but I got past it in Fedora 17 64-bit by installing the list of packages in this gist: https://gist.github.com/4408779

You will need to enable the RPMFusion repository - http://rpmfusion.org/

Thanks, now works, although during installation steam package downloaded some dependencies, so I thought that client has what it needed.

Ppanzi 2012-12-29 github

I still use Fedora 16 x86_64 and for me these packages didn't do it. Though two of those packages where not even found:
No package libpng-compat.i686 available.
No package mesa-libglapi.i686 available.

Ppanzi 2012-12-30 github

Yeah. I need a new computer anyway. Then I'll install the newest Fedora release.
