Steam login launcher doesn't work

Question

When I click on steam, the first time login screen appears (Where it says create an account, first time ps3 login, and login to existing account) but I can't click on anything, I have to kill it. I reinstalled steam and now it doesn't even start. If I try to run steam from the terminal all I get is this:
Running Steam on arch 64-bit
STEAM_RUNTIME is enabled automatically
I'm using the catalyst-test drivers. Any help is appreciated. Thank you.

Answer 1

Well I found the problem, it has to do with my system being in spanish. When I switch to english it works perfectly. When I switch back to spanish it doesn't work but at least now I'm getting this at the terminal:

It says segfault at line 736 of steam.sh. I went to the script and at that line all that is there is this
STATUS=$?
I also see
$STEAM_DEBUGGER "$STEAMROOT/$STEAMEXEPATH" "$@"
Requested Force create but SharedObjectMutex already created
but I don't know what that means.
What can I do to get steam to work under my system while it's in spanish?
