Since some time steam is not starting anymore on my system.
When running in terminal i get this output:

Running Steam on manjarolinux 0.8.12 64-bit
STEAM_RUNTIME is disabled by the user
/home/vincent/.local/share/Steam/steam.sh: Zeile 712: LD_LIBRARY_PATH ist nicht gesetzt.

After adding:

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/usr/lib"
[vincent@Arbeits-PC ~]$ steam
Running Steam on manjarolinux 0.8.12 64-bit
STEAM_RUNTIME is disabled by the user
Installing breakpad exception handler for appid(steam)/version(1424305157)

steam is running again (only in terminal)
To fix this issue permanently i need to edit ~/.local/share/Steam/steam.sh and replace export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/lib32" with export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="${LD_LIBRARY_PATH:+LD_LIBRARY_PATH:}/usr/lib32".
Could you please release an updated version of steam.sh which contains this fix.

I believe this is fixed

Got same issue. I migrated from Debian to Manjaro, and I get this error. The suggested fix does not longer apply.

Broken for me. (Same issue)
Manjaro steam native configuration found! Running Steam on manjarolinux 20.1.2 64-bit STEAM_RUNTIME is disabled by the user Can't find 'steam-runtime-check-requirements', continuing anyway /home/yaslam/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_32/steam
