Hello !

I've posted that also at the end of the annoucement, but I don't want that my message is sent to nowhere, so I repost here with a new topic.

I've been trying Skype on my Debian Woody, and it REFUSE to start, simply because it's linked against a wrong libstdc++ it seems.

Here is the output:

./skype: /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.5: no version information available (required by ./skype)
./skype: /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.5: no version information available (required by ./skype)
./skype: relocation error: ./skype: symbol _ZSt4cerr, version GLIBCPP_3.2 not defined in file libstdc++.so.5 with link time reference

I've tried to send an email to bizdev asking for help. In fact, I've already written some .deb package myself, and I can do it for skype as well... if one day I get a reply !

Writting a .deb is realy simple, I can help you with it if needed.

Skype only have to be recompiled for GLIBC2 to run ok under woody. I can provide help for the dev team also for making a debian repository if needed.

Best regards,

Thomas GOIRAND

Hi,

I'm also trying to run skype on a debian stable machine (for which I don't have the root account).

By default libstdc++.so.5 is not available in /usr/lib, so I tried to start skype as follows (in bash).

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/path-that-contains-libstdc++.so.5/ /home/stefaan/cache/skype_ver-0_90_0_6-staticQT/skype

Doing so, I was able to lauch skype... but after trying to login, skype crashes.
Here is the stacktrace:
Engine::init invoked. user is
Engine::init success
SkyWindowBase::onlineStatusChanged setting pixmap
UI: MainForm::tabWidget_currentChanged
UI: MainForm::tabWidget_currentChanged
UI: MainForm::tabWidget_currentChanged

Engine::init success
UI: Lib::OnConnStatusChange status is 1, 1
Engine::customEvent invoked. curState is 1
Engine::customEvent Sky::Event::SKY_CONN_STATUS_EVENT

Any suggestions?

end doesn't want do work.....
i tried the static, and the dynamic version and it's the same
if somebody can help me..... please do it......

thx colos

Looks like you have no libstdc++.so.5 ...
This is available in g++ 3.3 (and probably more of gcc/g++ 3.x), so you may need to install that one!

OK
I have GCC 3.4 ,and i this:

(explaind here: http://www.joewein.de/sw/swnotes002.htm)

apt-get install gcc-3.0; > cd /usr/lib ; > ln -s libstdc++-3-libc6.2-2-2.10.0.so ibstdc++.so.5

and any kind of programs, which needs libstdc++.so.5 like need for speed server, and they works fine......

shuold I remove all of the gcc, and reinstall.....

Is your bug fixed ? I am also afected by Sky::Event::SKY_CONN_STATUS_EVENT[

Hello there!

Just to report that Skype works fine on my Debian Knoppel distro (www.knoppel.org). Just downloaded the Dynamic binary tar.bz2 file (skype-0.93.0.3) and executed it. No sound problems or any problems at all. Running on an Acer Aspire 1304LC notebook. Kernel version is 2.6.9, gcc 3.3.5.

hi I have a debian woody with alsa installed long time ago.
I have solved the problem with libstc++.so.5 as I compiled the gcc-3.4 and put it under /opt
so now I can start skype by doing following



everything is fine but I have no sound ....

any Ideas

I guess that if you have alsa-libs twice (once for GCC3.4 apps, once for GCC3.3 apps, each compiled with their respective compiler) you might have conflicts on concurrent access to your alsa-drivers...
Maybe you should try again the new versions (tar.bz2 or rpm, as some of them are compiled with GCC3.3 others with GCC3.3)
