You should never need to add mesa to Steam; this points that something
else is going wrong.

I've seen an error like this recently while trying to run a stand-alone
game which clears LD_LIBRARY_PATH prior to run. This makes it fail with
funny errors like "Cannot find libz"; maybe you have a similar case?
Look how the game is started; in my case I had a shell script which ran
the actual binary with `LD_LIBRARY_PATH=. exec`. Modify this to be
`LD_LIBRARY_PATH=.:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH exec` and you're set.

Also, just in case -- does `glxgears` work for you?
