Steam Dependencies

Steam is a 32-bit application which allows users to run Steam on 32-bit hardware, with a few downsides according to a few users, although not a lot of word is out there as most users who do use Steam are on a 64-bit computer. Thus, users will need the ability to run 32-bit software. Read up on Multilib and see if that's you. If so, you must also follow the 32-bit/lib32 instructions of each dependency listed unless the section doesn't have those instructions or were told it is not needed.
