I have just installed steam but when I double click on the icon, it does nothing.



If i try to start steam from the terminal I get this:



This is what it says:



jonathon@BACAGE:~$ steam
Running Steam on ubuntu 12.04 32-bit
STEAM_RUNTIME is enabled automatically
/home/jonathon/.local/share/Steam/steam.sh: line 704: 5275 Illegal instruction
$STEAM_DEBUGGER "$STEAMROOT/$PLATFORM/$STEAMEXE" "$@"
Installing bootstrap /home/jonathon/.local/share/Steam/bootstrap.tar.xz
Running Steam on ubuntu 12.04 32-bit
STEAM_RUNTIME has been set by the user to: /home/jonathon/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime
/home/jonathon/.local/share/Steam/steam.sh: line 704: 5361 Illegal instruction
$STEAM_DEBUGGER "$STEAMROOT/$PLATFORM/$STEAMEXE" "$@"


Any ideas?

The Steam for Linux client requires a processor that supports SSE2. If your processor does not support SSE2, the Steam client will not run. If you run the Steam client from the command-line, you will see an illegal instruction exception caused by the lack of SSE2 support.
In order to run Steam for Linux you will need to upgrade to a processor that supports SSE2.
