[How to] Skype 4.1.0.20 with libxfixes3-5.0-4

[viking]

Skype 4.0.8 installed with get-skype might stop working if you update libxfixes3 to the latest version libxfixes3-5.0-4-rosa2012.1.i586.rpm

Then you will see a error like this:

Код: Выделить всё

/usr/share/skype/skype: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libXfixes.so.3: undefined symbol: _XGetRequest

Here is a quick solution until we get new get-skype package:

0. If you already installed get-skype package, you have to remove it first.
Be sure that you do not have none of those folders /opt/skypelibs nor /usr/share/skype.
You also need to remove this file /usr/bin/skype

1. Go to http://www.skype.com/intl/en-us/get-sky ... ter/linux/ and download dynamic package.

2. Unpack to folder of your preference, for example /opt/skype

3. Install latest packages needed to run dynamic version:

Код: Выделить всё

urpmi libqtwebkit4
urpmi libqtdbus4 
urpmi libalsa-plugins-pulseaudio
urpmi libxscrnsaver1

4. Add to path or made a shortcut if you need it (or both)

Enjoy using latest Skype for Linux!
