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

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...

Thanks

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 .

well i found a work around,
creating a script in the skype binary dir (in my case static version)
Code: |
#!/bin/sh
cd /root/pups/skype_static-2.0.0.72/
./skype
|
and then shortcut this to the desktop (drag+drop), change the icon and name.

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!

one time Subject description: skype ran once |
|
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

Is this pet file okay for Puppy 4.11 k2.6.25.16? It didn't work for me. Perhaps I am doing something wrong?
Seems there are so few files in the pet (used pet2tgz then pupzip to view)...

Can you upload it somewhere else? I'm getting this message
Concurrent download limit exceeded.

Just got a 404 Not Found error when trying to download it again.
However, I found a similarly named PET file on my system lying around. I can't remember if I compiled it myself (on the older kernel) or if this was the original from Wolf Pup. Inside the PET, it looks like the PET was made Jul 28, 2008. It's probably Wolf Pup's.
# ls -ltra --block-size=1m *skype*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 21 2008-08-06 21:14 skype-2.0.0.72.pet
Anyway, installed it on Puppy 4.10 k2.6.25.16 and it seems to work.
