6.2. And I attempted, but there were dependent packages not installed, and red hat only has lower version in the repositories.

if u are bound and determined, first get glibc from here and configure it to install to /opt/glibc.
then unpack your steam RPM like this:
rpm2cpio < /path/to/steam.rpm > steam.cpio
mkdir /tmp/steam
cd /tmp/steam
cpio -idv< /path/to/steam.cpio
now you've got the binary somewhere in /tmp/steam/.
now write a script to launch the binary, something like:
#!/bin/bash
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/glibc
exec /tmp/steam/path/to/steam.bin
the LD_LIBRARY_PATH i wrote is probably not correct, and this may not work at all, but might be worth a shot. if nothing else, u might learn something!

Thanks, I figured out that I needed to do that, but after I saw that glibc has so many dependicies not on my system that I will save this project for another day ^^ Originally Posted by atreyu

You can always download Ubuntu and get Steam straight from them. I have it available in Gentoo repos but have not installed it, yet. Originally Posted by absal0m I do not respond to private messages asking for Linux help, Please keep it on the forums only.

heh, yeah, multiple glibcs on a system is not something one can typically knock out in an hour. Originally Posted by absal0m
