skype error on 64bit MX-15 [solved]

#1 Post by Adrian »

I installed Skype with MX Package Installer then when I try to run it I get this:
skype: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libQtOpenGL.so.4: undefined symbol: _ZNK14QWidgetPrivate17hasHeightForWidthEv
Skype 4.3.0.37-1

I got no errors as well. however, this message has some google hits. this looked promising.

FYI: mx "test" repo is not the same thing as debian testing repo.

That's an old thread and refers to an old skype version which was disabled by Microsoft.

Thanks for the help, forgot to report, this fixed the problem:
Exec=env LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/ /usr/bin/skype

I don't really need to know this since I have not (yet) experienced the problem, but do I
gather you have worked around it by editing the "Exec= ......" line in the skype.desktop file?
Do you know why you had the problem when others have not?

It might be because I use Qt5 to build apps, maybe it has something to do with how the libraries get set up.
