Likely a Steam runtime compatibility issue. There are many similar issues open here with possible workarounds.

GGreatBigWhiteWorld 2016-08-10 github

@gdrewb-valve It's been a month with this error and there is no workarounds for this.

Check how this has not been solved at all.

It depends on the problem. There are threads like #4504 and #4534 that do have workarounds, so @gchapyzh may find one that works.

#4534 has no workaround, #4504 did nothing for me.

Ggdrewb-valve maintainer 2016-08-10 github

Sorry, #4537.

I solved this with:

find ~/.steam/root/ -name "libstdc++.so*" -print -delete
find ~/.steam/root/ -name "libxcb.so*" -print -delete
find ~/.steam/root/ -name "libgpg-error.so*" -print -delete

and by installing lib32-gconf

@xtonousou sorry, I tired doing exactly that before and just now - no effect.

It's probably caused by missing libraries. There is an AUR called steam-libs, https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/steam-libs/ , you can go check the dependencies and install them if you are on a different distro. And don't forget to open steam by STEAM_RUNTIME=0 /usr/bin/steam.

I think if everything is open source, people can actually find what's causing the problem at least very fast, but I'm no programmer so I may be wrong.

Hello @gchapyzh, Steam's handling of the Steam runtime has changed since the last time this issue was commented on. It now prefers host libraries before the runtime variants which avoids several common snafus from this time period.

Are you still experiencing this issue on an up to date system?

HHighrs 2019-07-12 github

@kisak-valve It has been a while, but I run steam on a platform of lies and slander, supported by a construct of duct tape and scripts that even I have no memory of putting up.

In short, I avoided the issue a long time ago. Later, I started dual booting between Windows and SUSE on a new machine, so I can't honestly comment of if it works or not.

Thanks for the feedback, closing per the last comment. This should have been fixed some time ago.
