Please copy the crash ids from the end of the system info (Steam->Help->System Info) and paste here.
Well I would love to, but apparently I can't get into any of the menus now. As soon as I click on any of the menu lists (Steam, help, etc.) It crashes with the line 561 segmentation error. Is there any text document I can look in that will have the system info with the crash ids in it?
Edit: Oh wait! It let me in it. But under the "Error reports" or whatever it said, there was nothing in it. It then proceeded to crash again.
If you run Steam from the command line, before it crashes do you see any text like "Crash Id: bp-XXXXXX"? I need the long number, then I can see what the crash is.
What distro / window manager / graphics driver version are you using?
Thanks.
Also, please run with STEAM_RUNTIME turned on. That is our preferred mode of execution. If there are problems with that, we want to fix them. Thanks.
Nope, nothing in the terminal about crash ids. and here, i'll just give you the system info from steam. (and ok, I'll run it with it turned on from now on):

Recent Failure Reports:
Woah, it's working now! I dunno what I did, but I'm downloading a game now as we speak. I ran it in runtime mode, which is weird, because last time I ran it with it on, it still didn't work. Should I close this issue, or report what happens next?
Great, good to hear! I'll close it.
Nothing extracted yet.
[I put this into a new issue because the people that were having the Line 561 error couldn't seem to even open Steam. It opens fine, I just can't install games] I have the latest update of Steam (1.0.0.25) and I had many troubles while trying to install it, but once I finally got it up and running, I can't install any games. The actual steam menu pops up fine (what with some graphical glitches and whatnot), but when I click any game and hit the "install" button, it shows the preview install panel for a split second before crashing Steam. Here's what I get when I run it in the terminal (And no, STEAM_RUNTIME=0 doesn't work as you can see (Doesn't work either if I leave runtime enabled, although it can still open steam if it is, just can't install games), and I have also tried Slouken's solution, but to no avail):
STEAM_RUNTIME=0 steam
