Ok, so I'm moving on from pidgin, to skype. I found how to install skype here: http://www.if-not-true-then-false.com/2012/install-skype-on-fedora-centos- red-hat-rhel-scientific-linux-sl/ It works. Except for my old Logitech QuickCam Messenger camera. But I found this excellent hack that shows how to get it to work: http://community.linuxmint.com/tutorial/view/219 which basically says that skype expects the v4l1 libraries, not the default v4l2 so one needs to preload the v4l1compat.so library - the 32 bit version, to match skype. For my 64-bit Fedora this would be: #!/bin/bash LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l1compat.so /usr/bin/skype So I did that, but I'm getting this error: ERROR: ld.so: object '/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l1compat.so' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded (wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS32): ignored. Lo and behold though, the camera works despite that error. So for my peace of mind, can anybody explain what's going on? -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
