When I click play on my library to launch Counter-Strike (Beta) the game fails to start and the following message appears in command line:

PS: I found a similar issue already reported, but it appeared to be related to nvidia optimus, since this system is a desktop without such thing has optimus I made a new issue.

It looks like you have an old Steam client that hasn't updated lately. From Steam select Steam->Check For Steam Client Updates...

You should have this file present:

~/.local/share/Steam/linux32/steamclient.so

And after running the new steam, you should have this symlink:

~/.steam/sdk32 which is symlinked to ~/.local/share/Steam/linux32

Please let me know if this fixes it.

Thanks.

Sorry for the delay in replying, steam says the client is up to date, however I get this error message in terminal:

Steam: An X Error occurred
X Error of failed request:  BadWindow (invalid Window parameter)
Major opcode of failed request:  20 (X_GetProperty)
Resource id in failed request:  0x420008b
Serial number of failed request:  53166

Do I have to reinstall steam or can I link that file manually ?
I get the same bug when trying to play half-life:
