Is it possible that the kernel has something to do that skype will not open in
slackware10 instead aborts with:
skype: relocation error: /usr/lib/qt/lib/libqt-mt.so.3: undefined symbol: XkbSetPerClientControls
My kernel in slackware10 is 2.4.26 whereas in Fedora2 where skype works flawlessly the kernel is 2.6....
What is that anyhow XkbSetPerClientControls ?
Besides having tried the static and dynamic version I tried as well the rpm
version which I have in Fedora, made a tgz file with rpm2tgz and trying to run
it I get the identical error message.
This result is somewhat puzzling, especially coming from the static version.
So I did a bit of checking, though, and apparently this message means that libqt-mt.so.3 is unable to find one of its symbols. In this case, the symbol should resolve to a call to libX11.so, so the problem is likely a version incompatibility between the libqt-mt.so.3 you are using and Slackware's libX11.so.
Probably the best workaround is to stop using the libqt-mt.so.3 you copied over from SuSE and find a version of libqt-mt.so.3 that is compiled for, and works with, Slackware 10. Then use the dynamic version of Skype with it.
In any case, it is all but surely not a kernel issue. It is some sort of X issue.
