problem to install skype on opensuse 10.2
I try to install skype-1.4.0.99-suse.i586.rpm and returns me the following error:
Code:
sudo rpm -i skype-1.4.0.99-suse.i586.rpm I have installed the libqt4-4.2.1-20.x86_64.rpm package but tells me that does not find the libraries, but they are in /usr/lib64. I have tried with "su". My path var= /home/myuser/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/opt/gnome/bin:/opt/kde3/bin:/usr/lib64/jvm/jre/bin:/usr/lib/mit/bin:/usr/lib/mit/sbin I tried to add /usr/lib64 to path var but I obtain the same result. |
Try the static binary. Might not be the perfect solution but you can try it.
|
Thanks for your response.
With static bin: ./skype: error while loading shared libraries: libQtDBus.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory Let's get back on topic, is a problem of RPM version or OS? |
Hi dissidend_goodchild.
I tried to install skype 1.4 on SuSe 10.2, but with no success. I can send you the working-older-version which I have saved. |
Since skype is a 32-bit application (i586 suffix), you can try to install the 32 bit version of the required libraries. They will not interfere with 64-bit libraries, since they will be installed in /usr/lib and not in /usr/lib64. Only the documentation stuff will be overwritten, but as far as I know it is the same for 32-bit or 64-bit version.

Already I read it to try an old version...
Clearly, get it! It happened in Ubuntu and I had to seek ten of libraries and dependences in 32-bit, I finished installing from Automatix2. I will try to install Qt 32-bit... Thanks |
solved
Ready, I had to uninstall Qt4-x86 because generated conflicts, and then to install Qt4-i586, with SMART.
The installation of skype I achieved with the terminal: "rpm -i <package>" because with the Software Installer gave conflicts. Something it occurs by have not Qt4-x86 installed in a computer with this architecture? |
As far as I have read Skype just does NOT install on 64 bit systems, period ! :(
|
I can't install it on openSUSE 10.3 neither... That sucks !
It is a 32 bit Gnome only version... |

No problem, I installed it on my comp running SUSE 10.3. You have to use "rpm -ihv >skype<*.rpm. If you get the dependencies error message, just try and install them by YAST. Of course you should have all repos(community and software)installed too. |
As of Skype, it took a bit of homework...But it works now, in openSUSE 10.3, Gnome edition.
First, I had to read better the Skype website : Software requirements * Qt 4.2.1+ * D-Bus 1.0.0 * libsigc++ 2.0.2 * libasound2 1.0.12 I couldn't get everything, so I went to terminal, and typed : rpm -ivh skype-1.4.0.118-suse.i586.rpm It said I needed this lib : libqt4-x11 (Qt 4 libraries which are used for drawing widgets and OpenGL items.) Once installed, everything worked ! I am glad it worked out, but I wish it would have been simpler... |
