Sype wont't open

Sype wont't open

[Peter H.]

Hi,

in slackware10 trying to open skype a program
for Internet telephony I get the following error:

relocation error: /usr/lib/qt/lib/libqt-mt.so.3: undefined symbol: 
XkbSetPerClientControls

and the program aborts.

How to resolve?

Thanks & regards

Probably by getting a newer version of libqt-mt.so.3 . An undefined symbol 
usually means you have an older version of a library than the app was 
compiled against. (If you have the library's -dev package installed ... or 
whatever Slackware calls the packages with the headers files for various 
libraries ... you could check the headers for this function call, as a way 
of confirming my guess.)

In Debian-Sid, the current version of this package is 3.2.3-4 . The 
installed copy I have on a system here is timestamped last July, but I 
doubt my version is the current package. The Skype site says you need at 
least version 3.2 of this library.

I'm guessing that you got Skype from the Skype site, not as part of 
Slackware, probably the dynamic binary the site offers for download. The 
Skype site does also  list a version that has QT 3.2 compiled statically. I 
imagine that includes the libqt-mt part, so using that might be an 
effective workaround.

PS - Just to avoid misunderstanding ... libqt-mt.so.3 is normally a 
symlink, to something like this:

         /usr/lib/libqt-mt.so.3 -> libqt-mt.so.3.2.3

  You need to check the underlying library it is a symlink to to determine 
the version.

I did not get confronted with this problem when i tryed skype with 
slackware-10, i found all sorts of problems tho'.

The following URL may well help you;

https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-list/2004-May/msg04589.html

If that helps then your problems are not over as you will meet many problems 
with skype and slackware-10. I may well be able to help you tho´.

I did manage to get skype started but performance was lousy and to be honest i 
was very dissapointed with it.

I have it running under fedora 3, performance is fine and it was not to much 
hassel to get going.

Standard slack-10 has 3.3.2 installed in/

/usr/lib/qt which should be linked to qt-3.3.2
My slack-10 /etc/ld.so.conf looks like;

/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 found many questions about this error on www.google.com/linux.
A few answers all saying the same as i pointed Peter to in my other reply.

Regards Richard.

Dear Peter:

  Get the 'static' version.
http://www.skype.com/products/skype/linux/
"Static binary tar.bz2 with Qt 3.2 compiled in (8.0 MB)"

HTH, Chuck

I have the static version on a laptop with Slackware v10.0
and I do not get an error.

  'locate libqt' yields ->

/usr/lib/qt-3.3.2/lib/libqt-mt.so.3
/usr/lib/qt-3.3.2/lib/libqt-mt.prl
/usr/lib/qt-3.3.2/lib/libqt-mt.la
/usr/lib/qt-3.3.2/lib/libqt-mt.so
/usr/lib/qt-3.3.2/lib/libqt-mt.so.3.3.2
/usr/lib/qt-3.3.2/lib/libqt-mt.so.3.3

Chuck, do you have it running on slack-10.?? if so what is your impression and 
what things did you need to configure to get it to run.??
