Bug Description

I'm a new ubuntu user and i don't know much anything about it. It's my first time using linux based operating system.

When I try run the steam, I get error which is "You are missing the following 32-bit libraries, and Steam may not run:
libc.so.6".
 I don't know how to fix this problem.
 Thank you for your interest
