Steam won't launch game in Ubuntu 16.04

Question

Fresh install of Ubuntu 16.04 64-bit, using default open source drivers. I installed Magicka 2 on steam, but I cant' launch it. Trying to runsteam steam://rungameid/238370 I get:

Running Steam on ubuntu 16.04 64-bit
STEAM_RUNTIME is enabled automatically
grep: symbol lookup error: grep: undefined symbol: pcre_jit_stack_alloc
grep: symbol lookup error: grep: undefined symbol: pcre_jit_stack_alloc
grep: symbol lookup error: grep: undefined symbol: pcre_jit_stack_alloc

If i browse to the local files and launch it manually, it will start, but I can't play because it tells me I'm not connected to my steam account.

Solution

try with this in your console

LD_PRELOAD='/usr/$LIB/libstdc++.so.6' steam

In kubuntu 16.04 works for me
