I've just installed Skype on 2.17 and i get exacltly the same error as the thread above (Wabikasabi ).

Has anybody got it working on puppy 2x?

That means that the version of libstdc++ you are using was built with a different version of gcc. Try searching for a libstdc++.so.6 that was compiled with gcc 3.44 or try compiling it from source.

Wow, Just preformed a test call with no problems on a thinkpad 600x with only 64mb ram.Only had to enable capture for the mic in alsa mixer.

Open alsamixer
hit tab
arrow to mic
press space
arrow to capture
press space
arrow to adc
press space
arrow to dac
press space.

These should all now all say captur in red under each control.

This also seems to cure the issue on the early thinkpads with using the mic for recording.

Now hit tab again to go to playback mode and adjust your mic volume.

arrow to mic and use up and down arrows to adjust volume.

You may need to enable mic boost.

arrow to mic boost
use the letter M to toggle on and off.

(Warning, Feedback may occur so be prepared to turn it down.)

Enjoy!

Thank you for the Pet Smile

skype: error while loading shared libraries: libXss.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

So, where do I get libXss.so.1?

Never mind, found it here: http://www.puppylinux.ca/ttuuxxx/Libs/ but it was zero length, so renamed libXss.so.1.0.0, which appears to be working so far...

Anyone else have video going? I would like to test mine. I am running 3.01 TMXXINE with a Logitech Quickcam Pro for Laptop. Piii 900 256mb TP22

I tried videoecho123 but there seems to be a server problem there.

I got the .pet file running in 3.99 and 4.0 with video .
I had to download new modules for my webcam .

With 2.xx as far I know is cann't work there the libst++ need new variable's .
I think this has to do with the kernel version .

ive got this problem with the .63 pet and the latest static, where if i execute in from an icon the sound doesnt work, but if i click the binary or run ./skype from the installation dir it works ...

why could this be ??

(when sound doesnt work, the option to make test sound is greyed out.)

Hi everyone

I'm using this with Puppy 4 and also with wNOP v0.2. Everything seems to be OK but... How can I change the font size???
With the Windows version there's an option inside the messaging windows, but I don't see that option at Linux.
Thanks for any help!

Hello everyone. I am a bit new to the puppy distros. I found this forum link while trying to get skype to work with webcam video. I have Muppy Minisys installed and I installed the above file for skype and the thing ran great one time but then everytime afterwards it just pops up a box that says please reinstall skype? I tried removing the program with the pet manager and it removed it and then I reinstalled the skype again, but it didn't help, gives same message. I tried to remove the directory as mentioned above too but this did not help either. It worked great that first time, I even used the webcam and tried to connect with my father throught skype. After I rebooted the PC this problem occurred. Any help much appreciated here.

Thanks
Eric
