[opensuse] Skype won't run on 64bit openSUSE 12.1
Having recently upgraded to openSUSE 12.1, I'm trying to re-install Skype for Linux 2.2.0.35-suse.i586.rpm. YaST installs the rpm OK, but when I try to run skype it grumbles about missing libraries. Googling found a recommendation to install xorg-x11-libXv-32bit which I've done, but now skype throws its next complaint: skype: error while loading shared libraries: libQtDBus.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory There seem to be various dbus rpms in the standard repositories, but none with that name. Has anyone trodden this before, who could advise me?

I remember having this issue on 11.4 when i went to 64bit. I can't remember the solution other than searching out the missing libraries via google and finding a forum entry that gave a solution, it did take a while to find. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, it requires 32-bit libraries. I launched Skype in command line (just "skype") and it complained about some missing libraries. I installed it using YaST and repeated launch in command line. It complained again and after some more repeats, I had everything needed and it works fine. :-) Good luck!

Aha! That's the one. :) Many thanks.
