skype: /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.15' not found (required by skype
 

Hi,

I would like to run skype on debian squeeze. It looks like it is not supportaed by skype anymore.

Maybe would you know?

skype: /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.15' not found (required by skype)

Haven't you installed libstdc++6? You can install it with apt-get/aptitude. BTW, there's a .deb on skype's website; you should try that instead of the .tar.bz2

All dependencies are surely installed. I have installed and verified each of them.

In terms of dependencies, it took me so time, but I am very sure that it is fine.

.. Is an object in libstdc++.so.6.0.17 from gcc version 4.6 .. 4.7 .

I don't think, you can install the Wheezy package :
http://packages.debian.org/wheezy/libstdc++6
But you can plug out libstdc++.so.6.0.17 from libstdc++6_4.7.2-4_<arch>.deb.
( $ dpkg -x libstdc++6_4.7.2-4_<arch>.deb <destination>/ ).

# cp libstdc++.so.6.0.17 /usr/lib/
# rm libstdc++.so.6
# ln -s libstdc++.so.6.0.17 libstdc++.so.6

.

I have tried that too, but no way.... although on Squeeze stable.

I guess the problem is the deb, not the libs/deps

The suggestion in post # 5 is meant for Squeeze.

I.e. use the Wheezy libstdc++.so.6.0.17 in Squeeze.

As I told you, it has nothing to do with the libs of squeeze since the ubuntu deb works fine.

the deb for debian should be re-made.
