I see a libpcre.so.3 in the steam runtime directory, but it's in a
directory labelled ubuntu12, so that might indicate how old it is. I
did find information indicating that you could just soft link it to the
installed libpcre.so, so give it a try and see if it works.

Thanks! Yes, it does do it. Here is what i did:
sudo ln -s /usr/lib64/libpcre.so /usr/lib64/libpcre.so.3
And the application opens up.
Thanks again!
best wishes,
Ranjan
