Solved Skype and v4l2convert.so

[fernandel]

Hi!

I am using Skype and I didn't had a problem but dfew days ago after update of Linux ports I have:

skype exec: LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l2convert.so: not found

But if I run:

locate v4l2convert.so
/compat/linux/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l2convert.so
/usr/local/lib/libv4l/v4l2convert.so 
/usr/local/lib/v4l2convert.so

Thank you.

Notice the change in the library path:

LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l2convert.so

should be

LD_PRELOAD=/usr/local/lib/libv4l/v4l2convert.so

Notice the change in the library path:

LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l2convert.so

should be

LD_PRELOAD=/usr/local/lib/libv4l/v4l2convert.so

I did change path in /usr/local/bin/skype but when I run I get:

skype
exec: LD_PRELOAD=/usr/local/lib/libv4l/v4l2convert.so: not found

I have libv4l installed and is in the above directory.

Uh, I don't know why was Skype update with the old version? I delete and installed Skype 4 and it works as before. Thank you.

the code must be modified as follows:

LD_PRELOAD=/usr/local/lib/libv4l/v4l2convert.so

exec /usr/local/share/skype/skype --resources=/usr/local/share/skype "$@"

I have a problem. A week ago or so my logitech c170 webcam work with Skype. But not now. Always gives me the following error:

ERROR: ld.so: object '/usr/local/lib/v4l1compat.so' from LD_PRELOAD can not be preloaded: ignored.

What can happen?
