[gentoo-user] Problems with libstdc++.

[gentoo-user] Problems with libstdc++.

[Christopher Granade]

Earlier, I successfully installed Skype via portage (net-im/skype), but
upon attempting to run it get the following text:

Running artsd found
Starting artsd wrapped skype
==========================================
Running wrapped Skype failed, trying not-wrapped mode...
==========================================

Upon further investigation, I narrowed the problem down to an error with
my installation of libstdc++:

$ artsdsp -v --mmap /opt/skype/skype.bin
artsdsp:       1.5.2
name:
command line:  /opt/skype/skype.bin
threaded:      yes
ERROR: ld.so: object '/usr/kde/3.5/lib/libartsdsp.so.0' from LD_PRELOAD
cannot be preloaded: ignored.
ERROR: ld.so: object '/usr/kde/3.5/lib/libartsc.so.0' from LD_PRELOAD
cannot be preloaded: ignored.
/opt/skype/skype.bin: error while loading shared libraries:
libstdc++.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I then ran revdep-rebuild to try and fix the problem, and it said that
that libstdc++.so.5 was broken, and that it would fix it. After
revdep-rebuild ran, I went back to run Skype again and got the same
error. Running revdep-rebuild a second time resulted in the exact same
output. Any ideas? Thanks.

revdep-rebuild doesn't look at /opt (which is where binary stuff like skype is 
installed). Also remerging won't help since it's binary. It won't be 
recompiled since the source code isn't available.

sys-libs/libstdc++-v3 provides libstdc++.so.5:

# emerge -va sys-libs/libstdc++-v3

Running this command reveals that libstdc++-v3 was already emerged. I
reemerged anyway, and the error persists. Thank you for the help, but it
seems that there's something else wrong. Is this a problem with amd64?

Not really sure. On amd64 this requires some of the 
app-emulation/emul-linux-x86-* packages (since skype is a 32 bit app), but it 
should pull them by itself... What does:

# equery check app-emulation/emul-linux-x86-compat

give? What version of skype are you using? Please also post the output of:

# emerge --info

Well, I didn't know about equery check. That told me that the package
was broken, and so I reemerged it. Skype now works! Thank you so much.
