Hi,

I've got a 64bit 10.2 system here and I'd like to run Skype on it. From what I have learned, I somehow need to install the 32bit versions of the qt libraries, as Skype comes as 32bit only. Currently I have the 64bit QT4 libraries installed.

So my questions would be:

1. How to trick Yast or Smart or anything else into installing the 32bit qt libraries next to the existing 64bit ones? When I just try installing them using Smart, it gives me all kinds of conflict messages

There's a qt3-32bit package - just install it. There might be more libraries needed - and we should have -32bit packages for these.

The problem is that the new version of Skype requires Qt 4.

Isn't there a qt4-32bit package as well? If not, please check the build service.

Hi, recently tried installing it, but couldn't find qt4-dbus for 32 bits. :(

Search for qt4, you should find libqt4*. One of them being libqt4-dbus-1-32bit.rpm .

Do you know of any repository that carries this package? I tried to search Guru, Packman and Suse, but didn't find it.

--I have skype-1.3.0.53-suse.i586.rpm on my hard disk (I always try to keep the previous generation software because newer does not always mean better). I don't think it would be illegal to e-mail it to you because skype had it available for public download. However, the file size is about 10MB. gzip and bzip2 don't do much to compress the file (in fact, the supposedly compressed output of bzip2 was bigger than the original!). I could send it to you via ftp if you want.

Try uploading to www.megaupload.com and post the link, that would be easier. Ciro --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-amd64+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-amd64+help@opensuse.org

Alright, https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=297565 has been solved already, and I'm able to run Skype 1.4.0.99 now! Thanks, Jörg Andreas Jaeger schrieb:

This seem to be the normal packages, not the xx-32bit ones.

However, some friendly soul pointed me to the factory distribution (e.g. http://ftp.opensuse.org/pub/opensuse/distribution/SL-OSS-factory/inst-source...) where I found some of the required packages. Alas, there is still one missing: libsigc++2 seems to exist only as the normal x86_64 package, I couldn't find the xx-32bit version anywhere.

Please file a bugreport in our bugzilla for libsigc++2 and assign it to me (aj@novell.com) and I'll get this setup for FACTORY.

...

Out of curiosity, how are those xx-32bit versions built? Would that be some command line option for "make", or something like that?

Via an rpm macro as part of building the i586 package.
