Skype error while loading shared libraries: libasound.so.2

Hi:

I have 64bits system, and I get this error when running skype. Changing symbolic link libasound.so.2 to lib32/libasound.so.2 skype works but rest of apps crash audio:-) Logic.
I have installed skye from multilib and:

    * lib32-alsa-lib
    * lib32-libxss
    * lib32-libxv
    * lib32-qt
    * xdg-utils

Any idea please?

Thanks

never symlink!

first be sure you are fully up to date then check /etc/ld.so.conf.d/lib32-glibc.conf to see if that /usr/lib32 in the path. if not, reinstall lib32-glibc

Give what you have. To someone, it may be better than you dare to think.

[SOLVED]

I read in other post the solution:

1. Make sure you have multilib repository add in pacman.conf

2. pacman -Syu

It's works! simple and easy or in spanish language:

mano santo!

Thanks and regards
