Skype 4.3.0.37 segmentation fault

Hi,

Today small note about Skype 4.3.0.37 under linux. There are a lot of comments about segmentation fault issue while running Skype. There were some solutions proposed but they did not work for me, unfortunately.

After some researches, I had to edit one file:

Initial version:

$ cat /usr/bin/skype
#!/bin/sh

export LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libGL.so.1
exec skype-bin

After editing:

#!/bin/sh

export LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libGL.so.1.2.0
exec skype-bin

Just in case:

$file /usr/lib/libGL.so.1.2.0

/usr/lib/libGL.so.1.2.0: ELF 32-bit LSB shared object, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked, BuildID[sha1]=0x9037df64c69e76b518f009a00d21271f5e1ec799, stripped



This solution worked for me.
