skype , ld_preload and webcam

I'm trying to use a webcam with skype on 64 bit installation and I followed the wiki with
LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib32/libv4l/v4l1compat.so skype
but I get this as user:
ERROR: ld.so: object '/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l1compat.so' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded: ignored.

it's working fine as root....
any hints?

Same here. But even though I get the error, webcam flips so it's no longer upside-down!
