The symlink is required becouse skype is compiled with libtiff 4 but slackware have libtiff 3.

It's needed only in /usr/lib, not lib64 becouse skype is a 32bit software

Edit:
The package builds fine for 13.37.
Noticed this in the -current Changelog:
Mon Mar 26 01:41:11 UTC 2012
l/zlib-1.2.6-i486-1.txz: Upgraded.
Moved shared library to /lib{,64} to prepare for kmod.

Yes. The latest -current breaks a lot of packages and slackbuilds.

Now I've not a stable internet connection, so I cannot fix skype.
However to build skype_static should be sufficient to modify the 'libraries.txt' file.

But now is not the time to fix it, for me, becouse Patrick is fixing and changing continuosly a large number of vital packages, so I should rebuild skype too many time.

However, as you see, the 13.37 packages works. In effect skype_static packages is not called 'static' from the name skype_static.tar.bz2 released by Skype, but from the 32bit libraries included in the package, so the 'skype' binary does not link with any 'system' libraries (in /usr/lib*/).
In effect some people use the 13.37 skype_static package over a 13.1 slackware distribution.

Sure is, but the libraries.txt file needs to be updated because the SlackBuild-script still halts on -current.

Yes, but I'll need Zerouno's script to be able to use Skype on Slackware64-current.

Thank very much.

I use Slackware13.37 64bit, I use bash-script wrapper skype 2.2 beta before, it work fine..

When i updated to 4.0.0.8 , It have some bother with me, I use ldd command to test, and
wrapper skype with some 32bit lib, so basic..., thus it can run now, but when i input
chinese with input-method, all content is garbled, but if i copy/paste from other place,
it show normally.

i send a post in Skype form, after a week, a guy return my post, point me to here.

Fantastic!! this package is all worked ok. thus I don't know why this input chinese fine.
but i find, linuxquestions.org is slacker heaven, I will return here every day.

Thanks for zerouno again!!

ldd is not sufficient for detecting all libraries needed used by skype.

To solve the keyboard problems you must to install the qt plugins and gconv libraries. Also you need v4l for some webcam and some other libraries.

In post #39 you can find the full 32bit libraries needed.


All these libraries are included in the package skype_static-4.0.0.8-x86_64-1mt.txz linked in post #42

Thanks. I have resolve my Skype problem.

But i still have some other software problem, it about keybinding.
I'm not understood about linux 64bit lib something..
And I have used a Compare software named: Beyond Compare 3,
It is a 32bit software too, and it work OK, except, a situation...
this software allow binding some hotkey with some menu item,
I inputs some hotkey, and it invoke a new compare window,
But this window, all hotkey is not work for me. If I invoke
this window with mouse click in the menu, it work OK again.
I submit a bug to the developer, But they say this situation
is not exist in their version, What i ask is , How lib missing
can cause this problem??
mouse click -> show new window, binding work OK.
hotkey click -> show new window, all binding is not work, Even I
cannot input a char.

Thanks.
