Installing 32-bit programs in Kali Linux

[xyl0t1c]

Hello everyone,

I installed Kali 64-bit on my laptop today, and I decided I wanted to put Steam on this laptop, just to have, and I've come across a problem. After installation, the terminal stated that Steam couldn't start due to missing libc.so.6, which is a 32 bit library. So I attempted to add the i386 architecture using:

sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386

That runs without error. Then I use:

sudo apt-get update

After running that, rather than getting any output, I just get "Reading package lists... Done", and then it goes back to my prompt. Steam gives the same error following. How do I get the correct libraries in order to install and run 32-bit programs in a 64-bit copy?

Try:

apt-get update && apt-get install libc6-i386
