What version of Qt does RHEL have? The error appears when you are trying to run a Qt 3.2 dynamic on a system that only has Qt 3.1 available.

RHEL is basically a RH9 withe some extra non-GPL packages and a lot of security updates and fixes that RH9 have never had (since RH stopped support for RH9)

My guess is that RH9 uses Qt3.1 :-)

qt-3.1.2-13

I went to what I thought was the qt site and downloaded 3.3.2 (the latest).
Built the whole developers environment (that's how the package comes),
got the non-statically linked version of Skype, and got the same
error.

Where should I be downloading qt 3.2 from?

Thanks!

Older versions can be found in the ftp archives: ftp://ftp.trolltech.com/qt/source/

I get the same error with Qt 3.3.2.

Is the only solution really to downgrade Qt?

No you should not have to downgrade, it should work fine with newer versions of Qt, like 3.3.

Also, make sure that your QT has the threading supported if your OpenGL is multi-threaded. When you compile your own QT, check for a small notice (that could be easily overlooked) after typing "./configure". It appears after the command and before the copyright notice. I needed, type "./configure -thread"; QT normally compiles without threads.

Ted,

I built 3.3-2 with -thread and used both the FC2 and dynamic version of Skype for Linux
and still get choppy sound. So, in my case, the problem lay elsewhere.

(Same hardware, with a different boot disk, run Skype for SuSe just fine!)
