skype: error while loading shared libraries

English Applications
#1

Hi,

I’m running openSUSE 11.0 (X86-64) and just installed skype 2.1.0.47. When starting it, I get
skype: error while loading shared libraries: libQtDBus.so.4: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64
Where do I get the correct library from? Or which one should I point it to?

Thanks

Hi,
I had the same problem, but it works now. My machine is x86_64. The installation of the openSuse skype package worked without problem.

To check which libraries are missing:
ldd /usr/bin/skype | grep not

In my case, I needed these two:
libQtDBus.so.4
libQtGui.so.4

In Yast2, I searched qt4 and installed the related packages (32 bits). Install all the missing packages and then it should work.

Best.

This is well documented on the wiki: SDB:Skype - openSUSE
