[Solved] Skype won't run on x86_64

jiehanzheng · 2013-03-02 22:55:11

[jiehan@tpx1c ~]$ sudo pacman -Q skype
skype 4.1.0.20-4
[jiehan@tpx1c ~]$ skype
ERROR: ld.so: object '/usr/share/skype/lib/libQtWebKit.so.4' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded: ignored.
/usr/lib32/skype/skype: error while loading shared libraries: libasound.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
[jiehan@tpx1c ~]$

Any ideas? Thanks.

UPDATE: Reinstalling lib32-alsa-lib and lib32-libxv made Skype to run. I don't know what made these packages corrupted.

However, I ran into a new issue, and this is what I get now:

[jiehan@tpx1c ~]$ skype
ERROR: ld.so: object '/usr/share/skype/lib/libQtWebKit.so.4' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded: ignored.
Inconsistency detected by ld.so: dl-open.c: 684: _dl_open: Assertion `_dl_debug_initialize (0, args.nsid)->r_state == RT_CONSISTENT' failed!

UPDATE: Reinstalling lib32-alsa-plugins lib32-glib2 lib32-libogg, which seem to be corrupted on my filesystem for some reason, finally solves this issue. Thank you everyone.

As the dependencies and error suggest, you need lib32-alsa-lib.

I saw this earlier https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/34106 for the first error.

Thanks for your reply. I think I have it though...

jiehanzheng,

Users are encouraged (expected, required) to search for answers before just posting new questions. I've never used skype, but I've seen many threads on the forums that seem to indicate that it is one of a handful of programs that requires mutlilib for x64 systems to be able to run right.

Please search for and read those relevant threads and wiki pages.

Skype used to work for me before an update. In fact, I did search for "skype". All the posts I found were posted before I encounter this problem, except for the one saying his repo was not fully synced.

If you happen to find anything helpful, please let me know...

In that case, *this* would have been good information to share earlier on. What was updated?

Sorry but I cannot remember exactly which update caused this issue, since I haven't used Skype for a while. But I am pretty sure 3 months ago it worked.

Works fine here...

jiehanzheng · 2013-03-03 00:16:37

I wonder why Skype is trying to use /usr/share/skype/lib/libQtWebKit.so.4... There is libQtWebKit.so.4 installed but it's located at /usr/lib/libQtWebKit.so.4.

Also, I am able to locate libasound.so.2

[jiehan@tpx1c ~]$ locate libasound.so.2
/usr/lib/libasound.so.2
/usr/lib/libasound.so.2.0.0

Thanks. Reinstalling several packages solved this. I wonder how they went corrupted in the first place...

The solution for me.

$ sudo ln -s /usr/lib32 /usr/share/skype/lib
