hwoarang@mystical ~ $ skype
skype: error while loading shared libraries: libfreetype.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

hwoarang@mystical ~ $ eix -e freetype

Building freetype with ABI_X86=32 makes skype work again

I also see this

hwoarang@mystical ~ $ ldd /opt/bin/skype |grep "not found"
	libfreetype.so.6 => not found
	libfontconfig.so.1 => not found
	libffi.so.6 => not found


So it seems it might be missing more 32-bit dependencies
Comment 1 Markos Chandras (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2015-02-14 16:04:23 UTC
There is the following 32-bit freetype installed

/usr/lib32/libfreetype.so.6.10.0 

from

app-emulation/emul-linux-x86-xlibs (/usr/lib32/libfreetype.so.6.10.0)

but that's not enough

Mine says 

skype-bin: error while loading shared libraries: libQtDBus.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I'm pretty sure it's related to the recent news about removing emul-* packages. But i dont understand how we're supposed to do now. At least it worked with emul-* stuff
