# skype /opt/skype/skype: error while loading shared libraries: libdbus-1.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory Previous Skype 1.4 alpha was running fine. Since i upgraded to skype-1.4.0.64_alpha, it misses libdbus-1.so.2. There is only a libdbus-1.so.3 on my system. Note, that USE=static is turned on for skype. (to avoid installing QT) Here's the output of ldd: # ldd /opt/skype/skype linux-gate.so.1 => (0xb7f1f000) libasound.so.2 => /usr/lib/libasound.so.2 (0xb7e48000) librt.so.1 => /lib/librt.so.1 (0xb7e3f000) libdbus-1.so.2 => not found libSM.so.6 => /usr/lib/libSM.so.6 (0xb7e36000) libICE.so.6 => /usr/lib/libICE.so.6 (0xb7e1d000) libXrender.so.1 => /usr/lib/libXrender.so.1 (0xb7e15000) libXrandr.so.2 => /usr/lib/libXrandr.so.2 (0xb7e0f000) libXfixes.so.3 => /usr/lib/libXfixes.so.3 (0xb7e0a000) libXcursor.so.1 => /usr/lib/libXcursor.so.1 (0xb7e01000) libXinerama.so.1 => /usr/lib/libXinerama.so.1 (0xb7dfe000) libfreetype.so.6 => /usr/lib/libfreetype.so.6 (0xb7d83000) libfontconfig.so.1 => /usr/lib/libfontconfig.so.1 (0xb7d58000) libXext.so.6 => /usr/lib/libXext.so.6 (0xb7d4a000) libX11.so.6 => /usr/lib/libX11.so.6 (0xb7c5e000) libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0xb7c5a000) libpthread.so.0 => /lib/libpthread.so.0 (0xb7c43000) libsigc-2.0.so.0 => /usr/lib/libsigc-2.0.so.0 (0xb7c3c000) libstdc++.so.6 => /usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/4.1.1/libstdc++.so.6 (0xb7b5b000) libm.so.6 => /lib/libm.so.6 (0xb7b36000) libgcc_s.so.1 => /usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/4.1.1/libgcc_s.so.1 (0xb7b2b000) libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0xb7a02000) /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0xb7f20000) libz.so.1 => /lib/libz.so.1 (0xb79ef000) libxml2.so.2 => /usr/lib/libxml2.so.2 (0xb78d6000) libXau.so.6 => /usr/lib/libXau.so.6 (0xb78d3000) libXdmcp.so.6 => /usr/lib/libXdmcp.so.6 (0xb78ce000)
