Hi,
in slackware10 trying to open skype a program for Internet telephony I get the following error:
relocation error: /usr/lib/qt/lib/libqt-mt.so.3: undefined symbol: XkbSetPerClientControls
and the program aborts.
How to resolve?
Thanks & regards
Probably by getting a newer version of libqt-mt.so.3 . An undefined symbol usually means you have an older version of a library than the app was compiled against. (If you have the library's -dev package installed ... or whatever Slackware calls the packages with the headers files for various libraries ... you could check the headers for this function call, as a way of confirming my guess.)
In Debian-Sid, the current version of this package is 3.2.3-4 . The installed copy I have on a system here is timestamped last July, but I doubt my version is the current package. The Skype site says you need at least version 3.2 of this library.
I'm guessing that you got Skype from the Skype site, not as part of Slackware, probably the dynamic binary the site offers for download. The Skype site does also list a version that has QT 3.2 compiled statically. I imagine that includes the libqt-mt part, so using that might be an effective workaround.
PS - Just to avoid misunderstanding ... libqt-mt.so.3 is normally a symlink, to something like this:
/usr/lib/libqt-mt.so.3 -> libqt-mt.so.3.2.3
You need to check the underlying library it is a symlink to to determine the version.
