I've got skype 1.4.0.94 with USE=qt-static installed on two laptops. On the first system (zathras) it starts without problems, on the second system (angua) it refuses to start with the messages /opt/skype/skype: /usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.4.6/libstdc++.so.6: version `CXXABI_1.3.1' not found (required by /opt/skype/skype) /opt/skype/skype: /usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.4.6/libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.4' not found (required by /opt/skype/skype) Further investigation revealed that while on zathras, only sys-devel/gcc-4.1.2 was installed, on angua sys-devel/gcc-3.4.6-r2 was also installed. Removing the old gcc version and running "gcc-config i686-pc-linux-gnu-4.1.2" fixed the issue for me. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce:
