This is most likely the same root issue as 2233. Do you have a steamclient.so on your library path?
Yes, it's there. Also if I delete it, it's downloaded again.
Now isn't a specific missing library problem, it's more related to a runtime problem because steamcmd runs fine (at least for updates). Just crash when trying to start the steam command line.
The assert you show above isn't a crash, it's Steam failing to start because it can't load steamclient.so. If you ldd steamclient.so does it show any errors?
Look yourself. No errors at all if I use ld_library_path.

steamcmd.sh sets LD_LIBRARY_PATH to include linux32 so I'm not sure why it isn't working for you. We'll have to see if we can repro here.
I can upload an strace if it's useful.
Also in /root/Steam/steam.log I don't see any significant information.

I have the same problem on gentoo amd64. However, if running ~/.steam/steam/steam.sh the whole thing works.
Hello @piegtas, are you still experiencing this issue on an up to date system?
Closing pending feedback.
Nothing extracted yet.
Running steamcmd - centos 5.9 clean install
1- downloaded the steamcmd client
2- copied libstdc++.so.6 to linux32 from other instalation (missing in downloaded client)
3- steamcmd auto update goes fine
4- after update, steam tries to run with error.
