Debian (Jessie) server, fails to start because of SteamAPI_Init() error

Hi!

 

Currently I'm trying to set up a server on our Debian box, downloaded the dedicated server package (with appid 380870) but when I try to run it the server fails with this error:

pzexe: Steam is not running[S_API FAIL] SteamAPI_Init() failed; SteamAPI_IsSteamRunning() failed.[S_API FAIL] SteamAPI_Init() failed; unable to locate a running instance of Steam, or a local steamclient.so.pzexe: SteamAPI_Init() failedMessage: 'Fatal Error', Detail: 'Steam must be running to play this game (SteamAPI_Init() failed).

I recognized this error, having seen it in a TF2 dedicated server, which could be fixed by making a symbolic link to the steamclient.so file from steamCMD in the folder ~/.steam/sdk32 but this is already there, so that didn't help.

 

Does anyone know how to fix this? 

 

Thanks!
