Hi, Slackware 10.1 kernel 2.4.29
Sometime ago I reported that skype would not open and at the same time after I had reinstalled slackware 10, xine and totem did not open anymore. Richard Adams then suggested to reinstall slackware w/o the old /usr/local and /home mounted, instead mount them after the installation. Well that worked only until I installed additional programs such as efax after which neither skype nor the other 2 mentioned programs would not open again. When slackware is installed it puts a number of library paths into /etc/ld.so.conf. This list is headed by /usr/local/lib. Now I found that this positioning was the cause of the problems. If I put /usr/local/lib at the end of the list all programs open properly and I can install further new programs w/o any change, meaning all programs keep on opening properly. If I just deactivate /usr/local/lib then naturally programs looking at that path will not open such as siag. I just thought I will let the list know in case others have similar experiences, there was one in skype forum.
