So i have been running fedora for a while and finally got chrome installed and now, i move on to steam!
So I installed steam and fallowed all the directions and i get this

Running Steam on fedora 18 64-bit
STEAM_RUNTIME is enabled automatically
Installing breakpad exception handler for appid(steam)/version(0_client)
/home/noah/.local/share/Steam/steam.sh: line 704: 3431 Segmentation fault (core dumped) $STEAM_DEBUGGER "$STEAMROOT/$PLATFORM/$STEAMEXE" "$@"
Installing bootstrap /home/noah/.local/share/Steam/bootstrap.tar.xz
Running Steam on fedora 18 64-bit
STEAM_RUNTIME has been set by the user to: /home/noah/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime
Installing breakpad exception handler for appid(steam)/version(0_client)
/home/noah/.local/share/Steam/steam.sh: line 704: 3518 Segmentation fault (core dumped) $STEAM_DEBUGGER "$STEAMROOT/$PLATFORM/$STEAMEXE" "$@"

I have absolutily no idea what this all means and i would really like help, and like chrome this was very easy on my 32 bit laptop. Very weird.
