[SOLVED] steam: missing libc.so.6

Question

I'm getting the following error when trying to run steam:
lllars ~ $ steam
Running Steam on arch rolling 64-bit
STEAM_RUNTIME is enabled automatically
Error: You are missing the following 32-bit libraries, and Steam may not run:

lllars ~ $ pacman -Ss lib32-glibc
multilib/lib32-glibc 2.18-8 [installed]

any ideas?
[SOLVED] /usr/lib/ld-linux.so.2 was erroneously linked to an old version of the library

Btw, I intentionally deleted the .local/share/Steam directory this morning while troubleshooting this problem.  It recreated the directory the next time I tried to run it.  So, everything in there should be default.
