When i searched google for your error message some said it is a bug in qt,
others say its because one has installed another version of qt and now has
two versions installed.
I pointed you to an URL which menioned a spesific order of directory´s in the
file /etc/ld.so.conf. here is what i used on my slack-10 system when i tryed
skype.

/usr/local/lib
/usr/X11R6/lib
/usr/i486-slackware-linux/lib
/opt/kde/lib
/usr/lib/qt/lib
/usr/lib/xine
/usr/lib
/lib

I noticed in another message of your that what ls -al /usr/lib/qt retured, it
was different to my origanal slack-10 install, i get;
/usr/lib/qt -> qt-3.3.2

I belive if you installed an rpm from fedora 2 then that could well be your
problem.
