I have Steam running just fine on FatDog64 6.0.1.
I am wondering how much demand there is for a package. Let me know if you want one and which puppy version you are using.

that's good news, it was rumored it could be difficult

I tried installing the 'official' steam for linux on my dPup 3.6.2.1 and when I try running it, all I see is a quick flash of an outline of a box before it disappears.

I have a few Second Life (VR Worlds) clients running without problems using the NVidia 3.10 drivers, so I'm assuming the graphics isn't the problem.

According to ssanubis some lines need commenting out in a script in /usr/bin

Nope... still no go.

Installed zenity and commented out the root check but the popup box just flashes by with no error msgs.

And the newly released steam script does not match the one in the mentioned forums.

may need some linking to your version of glibc

what happens if with the command

ldd --version

people can make this page better by sharing which glibc version is on their Puppy

Slashdot reported on someone who provided a repackage of Steam4Linux so that it includes the required glibc 2.15 libs.

Trying it now...

I'm on Precise 5.4, and the zenity + comment out trick worked for me. I also installed all the packages the pop-up window said I needed to add. Steam looks gnarly, with grey bars blocking out a lot of the text and almost no images currently working, but several of the games launch and play very smoothly.

Tried to install glibc 2.15 but was getting a bit tired so couldn't figure how.
