I successfully got steam working on the 64 bit edition with Nvidia drivers, but since I could not find a suitable post from other people on the Mint forums I thought I'd create one.
So, you go to the software center to install Steam. It installs and updates successfully.
You try to run it and get:
Code: Select all
Error: You are missing the following 32-bit libraries, and Steam may not run:
libGL.so.1
Code: Select all
locate libGL.so.1
If you do not have 32 bit architecture added do so:
Code: Select all
dpkg --add-architecture i386
Code: Select all
sudo apt-get update
Now you have those architecture also
Code: Select all
sudo apt-get install libgl1-nvidia-glx:i386
Start steam, hopefully it starts correctly.
if not you can add the following also (should not be necessary and you can change the 'mesa' parts accordingly):
Code: Select all
gksudo gedit /etc/ld.so.conf.d/steam.conf
Code: Select all
/usr/lib32
/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/mesa
Code: Select all
sudo ldconfig
