Hi I am running skype on 64 SL6. I installed the fedora rpm from the skype website. then i installed the missing 32bit libraries. when start skype get the following error, and fails to display the license agreement. ------- (process:14299): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: gtype.c:2458: initialization assertion failed, use IA__g_type_init() prior to this function
