Hello there! I was running skype 4.1.0.20 on my 64-bit laptop for weeks (installed in /opt, from an official skype binary archive, plus few 32-bit stuff to get it working), when suddenly it stopped working, no way to start it: $ skype Fatal: QWidget: Must construct a QApplication before a QPaintDevice Aborted A quick search on the Internet brought some possible solution, basically configuring prelink to skip skype binary, uninstall skype, reinstall it. I was doubtful about uninstall/reinstall step since I didn't install it using a RPM but from a binary archive. Anyway I did it, restarted even the computer. No way to start skype. For now I'm stuck w/ an former staticQT 4.0.0.8 version of skype, which has no support for MSN accounts. Please note that I'm not using skype+msn because I want, but because I need to (@work). Did anybody ever solve this issue or has a clue about how to do it? Regards, -- wwp -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
