Fossapup64 9.6 (F96-CE_4)
Have the Fossapup64 32bit compatibility SFS loaded

When trying to run the latest version of Steam it gives this error and will not run.

If I navigate in the operating file system to usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/

The file libdrm.so.2 is there.
It is a link to the libdrm.so.2.4.0 file and that file is 32bit.

The things you do not tell us, are usually the clue to fixing the problem.
When I was a kid, I wanted to be older.
This is not what I expected :o

@bigpup Symlink the /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libdrm binary to /usr/lib then in a terminal ldconfig and try Steam again.

@bigpup Open a Rox window with the directory /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu and find the file /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libdrm.

In a second Rox window open /usr/lib then drag /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libdrm from the first Rox window to the second Rox window with /usr/lib and drop it, select Link

Then in a terminal run ldconfig and try Steam again.
