Skype on Arch64

jcci · 2007-07-06 05:12:53

There were a few posts concerning this issue and Skype is supposed to work with the matching lib32. Skype 1.4 does not work anyway and always misses some libs. Finally I used skype_static-1.4.0.74 which provides all qt libs already, but still there is the following error: "error while loading shared libraries: libsigc-2.0.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory"
I really don't want to install a complete changeroot environment just for using Skype.
Anybody has any idea?

I'm working on skype 1.4 for Arch64, but I hadn't much time the last weeks. I hope I will do it this weekend.

@skottish: Do you put the lib32-libsigc++2.0 package into AUR or should I do it?

I didn't do it because I didn't write it (I modified it) and I never put in the MD5 checksums.

Please confirm if it works, I can't submit lib32-libsigc++2.0 to aur due to faulty name scheme (the ++) I could rename it but I'd rather stick to the same way the official repos libsigc package is named, and the devs are reluctant to answer my e-mails about how faulty the official package is.

Ridiculous sort of how an official package can surpass the naming schemes in aur.

I put skype 1.4 to AUR with all dependencies ( I hope so ). If there are any Problems, please tell.

What a great community! Just one day and so many replies!!!
I'll try the AUR although I'm new to Arch and have to study the wiki first.

Offtopic: I wish this would have happend also to the freenx problem which looks like a simple path issue. (http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=32720). This is the only thing that stops me from migrating to Arch in our company.

imachine · 2007-07-08 08:13:59

I guess you were just lucky I for example fiddled with it a while ago and stumbling upon this thread was actually accidental in my case ;-)

Cheers.

I'm getting this error when trying a 'makepkg' on the lib32-qt4 dependency you have here (http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?d … s=0&SeB=nd)

==> ERROR: install scriptlet (lib32-qt4.install) does not exist.

Here's what I'm given when trying your release:

Did you download the tar file? There the file you are looking for is included...

My apologies; I had downloaded only the PKGBUILD and not the tar archive. Thanks-- the Skype 1.4 beta you posted works like a charm

ezzetabi · 2007-07-28 15:33:34

The skype64 that is in the AUR is the dinamically linked version, do someone would appreciate the static one? (less dependences, larger)

dongiovanni · 2007-07-29 08:08:03

Why would you prefer the static linked version? Are the dependecies the problem for you? Probably I could do also a PKGBUILD also for that.

ezzetabi · 2007-07-29 08:58:53

I dislike installing lib32-* in my x86_64 if not needed. That's it.

And, yes... Your PKGBUILD works already, just remove the unneeded deps and change the source files arrays.

dongiovanni · 2007-07-29 09:34:41

Ok, I will do it...:D

Darkwind · 2007-08-10 21:20:40

I am quite new to this and this is the first time I have tried a 'makepkg'
however, when I tried I got this error

[caillin@localhost ~]$ makepkg /home/caillin/Desktop/bin32-skype.tar.gz 
==> Entering fakeroot environment
==> Making package: bin32-skype 1.4.0.94-1 (Fri Aug 10 22:10:53 BST 2007)

==> Missing Dependencies:

   -> lib32-alsa-lib
   -> lib32-libsigcplusplus2.0
   -> lib32-dbus
==> Checking Buildtime Dependencies...
==> ERROR: could not resolve all dependencies.

I subsequently downloaded all the dependencies and tried again, both attemptingto install skype and the dependencies individually but got the same error message as above.
this to me means I have made a very simple error but I don't know what.
any help in this matter would be greatly appreciated

dongiovanni · 2007-08-10 22:37:31

All the dependencies, that are missing on your system are also in AUR. So you have only to build them bevor you build skype with makepkg.

Darkwind · 2007-08-10 23:24:05

thanks

I eventually figured that out (yep, I'm clever I am ) and have been able to install everything bar lib32-qt4 which errors as follows

[root@localhost lib32-qt4]# makepkg

I think that's because a more modern version of qt is out (it says 3.3.8.4 in the Arch repository) but, having had a quick look at the pkgbuild, I was not sure how to modify it.
again, any help would be greatly appreciated and sorry for being such an idiot before.

qt4 has been updated to 4.3.1-1. Change the lib32-qt4 package so it uses that version.

dongiovanni · 2007-08-11 09:45:01

I put an update of lib32-qt4 and bin32-skype in AUR, so everything should work now.

vilefridge · 2007-08-26 18:24:44

dongiovanni: I think your package requires an update. I'm now receiving the error "skype: error while loading shared libraries: libz.so.1: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64" when running this skype binary.

dongiovanni · 2007-08-26 21:29:19

I will have a look at it...I am busy at the moment, but I think I will have time tomorrow.

dongiovanni · 2007-08-27 09:01:42

The 32bit libz.so.1 is provided by the lib32-zlib package. This should be installed as a dependecy of lib32-qt4.

There seem to be some mistakes in the lib32 packages in community...I will have a look at them...

lib32-zlib is installed; yet experiencing the same issue.

fwojciec · 2007-08-27 16:21:57

vilefridge: check out the thread about java plugin (http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=36662) - there is a PKGBUILD there for lib32-zlib. My skype was also dead, even though I had lib32-zlib installed, rebuilding lib32-zlib using that PKGBUILD solved the issue for me.
