Install Steam on Debian wheezy

Hello, as you all know, finally in GNU/Linux we can enjoy native games. Today I am making a small manual on how to install Steam under Debian Wheezy since almost all the manuals I have found on the Internet were incomplete since they caused dependency problems.

We install cross-platform support

Bash

apt-get install multiarch-support

We download the script created by Kano

Bash

wget http://kanotix.com/files/fix/install-steam-wheezy.sh

We give permissions

Bash

chmod +x install-steam-wheezy.sh

We execute

text

./install-steam-wheezy.sh

Once installed, if we run Steam it will not open... and if we run it through the console, something like this will appear:

text

/lib/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.15′ not found (required by /home/rokitoh/Soft/usr/lib/steam/

To solve the dependency problem, we add the testing repository

Bash

echo «deb http://ftp.fr.debian.org/debian/ testing main contrib non-free» >> /etc/apt/sources.list

We update

Bash

apt-get update

We installed the dependencies that gave us an error

Bash

sudo apt-get -t testing -f install; sudo apt-get -t testing install libc6-dev

We run Steam, we log in with our user... etc.
