I was seemingly missleading on saying that /usr/lib should have been enought,
iá¸¿ sorry to say but i seem to be wrong.

It is defined here as

/usr/lib/qt/lib
Once again i have qt-3.3.2.
I have tryed skype on another box with a clean slack-10 install and i do not
get that message.

Anyway like i mentioned slackware-10 and skype do not really like each other,
even if skype starts you need to tune things a lot to get it to even think of
working.

I am quite sure someone on the skype site mailing list(s) would appricate that
as a problem report Peter.
All it says to me is that an undefined symbol was discoverd-;)
