Can't install 32bit libraries

So i'm new to void and have been trying to install steam, the flatpak was giving me some headaches with dbus so i added the non free repos and installed steam, but when i try to install the 32bit libraries like libgcc-32 xbps say they don't exist and everything to fix points me to 2 links from the void wiki that have been long dead

[EDIT]

I've managed to install by adding the free multilib repo

sudo xbps-install -Sy void-repo-multilib

Or you can try Steam AppImage

repo

Should work even without multilib repo...

I used to have a feel appimages on my system, even made one myself, and them complete forgot about the format, thanks for the reminder

I used steam without any flatpak and it worked fine. Does this not work for you?

Thanks for the help, but i managed to make it work, i didn't added the free multilib repo so i couldn't download some of the 32bit libraries that i needed

FTW the official guide is kind of good. Follow it to get steam running on Void Linux.

Thanks, everything that i found would just send me to a dead link in the void wiki

Disclaimer: I don't use Void.

Did you make sure that both the multilib & multilib/nonfree repositories are enabled? It sounds like your package manager can only find non-free 32-bit packages.

What kinds of headaches did you encounter with dbus?

drew_belloc@programming.dev · 3 pts · 1y

Yes i did installed both

As for dbus it works fine, only headache is that flatpak apps can't find it, i even got in flatseal and tried thinckering around for a time and nothing, and i know is not exclusive to steam flatpak because heroic games also have the same problem

[Edit] Found the problem, i didn't added the free multilib repo, now i just gotta solve the problem with flatpak
