This is what the terminal spits out when running skype:
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
So I've checked around through the forums and the comments on the AUR page, and I still can not seem to figure it out. I am on the latest glibc which is said to have fixed the problem, but it looks like the problem is still persisting. This is my second fresh install of Arch ( I reinstalled in case I messed up) but I don't think I messed up. I made sure to enable the multilib repository before installing. If you need more information just let me know what to post!

Does this happen when you start skype or while it is running? Is your system x86_64?
Skype barely works on my system, mainly problems with sound, I usually have to restart it to get it working for any call.

What version of skype are you using (please provide an AUR link)?
I'm using skype from the multilib repository and it's working fine.

When I run skype at all. Running it in the terminal just gives the Core dumped message. And yes, my system is x86_64.

I'm using skype from the multilib repository and it's working fine.
The one I always use from the AUR: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/skype2/

1. That Skype is a different version than the one from the multilib repo. Unless you have a specific need for v2, you should consider switching to the one in the repos.
2. The AUR comments about glibc are a bit old. There could be another regression.

I feel like the one in the aur was the one I always used, but it makes sense to use the one from the multilib repo. I will uninstall it and try the multilib version and report back.

Nevermind, the one in the multilib repo works perfectly fine. I don't know why I installed the version from the AUR in the first place. Sorry for all of the inconvience! Thread closed.
