Hi all,

I have a stable Gentoo system, today i thought i would install steam and maybe try some of the games out, i have not gamed on Gentoo previously.

I installed the 'steam-launcher' package and associated dependencies, upon running i get the error below:

Code:

╭─pete at arcadia in ⌁

I am running on the following Kernel
Code:

╭─pete at arcadia in ⌁
╰─λ uname -r                                                                                                                                                                                  1 (1.924s) < 19:02:05
5.15.23-gentoo


I am also using the latest nvidia drivers version 510.54, I updated to this to see if the error was fixed as i was previously on the 470.103.01 version with the same error.

Any help with this would be appreciated.

Many Thanks

As far as I know, with steam, it's often because you don't have USE=abi_x86_32 set on nvidia-drivers and dies when it tries to use glx for 32bit libraries.

The steam-client-meta from the steam overlay does depend on nvidia-drivers[abi_x86_32] but if you haven't used that it can be easy to miss
