 Package, install Skype 2.2.0.25 on CentOS 5 ¶
 
 CentOS 5 has its own GCC Standard C++ Library package, but it is relatively old:
 
 $ rpm -q --provides libstdc++-4.1.2-48.el5.i386 |grep GLIBC
 libstdc++.so.6(GLIBCXX_3.4)
 libstdc++.so.6(GLIBCXX_3.4.1)
 libstdc++.so.6(GLIBCXX_3.4.2)
 libstdc++.so.6(GLIBCXX_3.4.3)
 libstdc++.so.6(GLIBCXX_3.4.4)
 libstdc++.so.6(GLIBCXX_3.4.5)
 libstdc++.so.6(GLIBCXX_3.4.6)
 libstdc++.so.6(GLIBCXX_3.4.7)
 libstdc++.so.6(GLIBCXX_3.4.8)
 $
 
 Precompiled version of Skype 2.2 Beta for Linux requires a slightly newer version, libstdc++.so.6(GLIBCXX_3.4.9). Will install the libstdc++ package from Fedora 10, and make sure that it won't overwrite the one that came with the CentOS.
 
 1. Download, install the GCC Standard C++ Library RPM from the Fedora 10 archive.
 
 # rpm -i --relocate /usr/lib=/usr/local/lib \
 http://archives.fedoraproject.or ... ++-4.3.2-7.i386.rpm
 #
 # rpm -ql libstdc++-4.3.2-7
 /usr/local/lib/libstdc++.so.6
 /usr/local/lib/libstdc++.so.6.0.10
 #
 # ( cd /usr/local/lib ; ls -log libstdc++* )
 lrwxrwxrwx 1     19 Apr  6 12:00 libstdc++.so.6 -> libstdc++.so.6.0.10
 -rwxr-xr-x 1 954544 Nov  5  2008 libstdc++.so.6.0.10
 #
 # whereis libstdc++.so.6
 libstdc++.so: /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6 /usr/local/lib/libstdc++.so.6
 #
 
 Now will download a few files, build and install the RPM.
 
 2. Download statically compiled version of Skype (to avoid installation of Qt 4).
 
 # cd /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES
 # wget http://www.skype.com/go/getskype ... ic-2.2.0.25.tar.bz2
 
 3. Download a simple patch, and a .spec file.
 
 # url=http://punkts.org/sw/el5
 # wget $url/skype-2.2.0.25-shell.patch
 # wget $url/skype.sh
 #
 # cd /usr/src/redhat/SPECS
 # wget $url/skype.spec
 #
 
 4. Build, then install the package.
 
 # rpmbuild -bb skype.spec
 [...]
 #
 # rpm -i /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386/skype-2.2.0.25-*.i386.rpm
 #
 
 What was the patch needed for?
 
 $ rpm -ql skype |grep desktop
 /usr/share/applications/skype.desktop
 $
 $ grep Exec /usr/share/applications/skype.desktop
 Exec=skype.sh
 $
 $ rpm -ql skype |grep bin/skype
 /usr/bin/skype
 /usr/bin/skype.sh
 $
 $ pr -to3 /usr/bin/skype.sh
 #!/bin/sh
 LD_PRELOAD=/usr/local/lib/libstdc++.so.6 /usr/bin/skype
 $
 
 Upgrade to CentOS 5.6 ¶
 
 If you'd followed instructions given above, and now are trying to upgrade your system to CentOS 5.6, you may encounter the following error:
 
 # yum update
 [...]
 ERROR with rpm_check_debug vs depsolve:

 To work around this problem uninstall the libstdc++-4.3.2-7 package, upgrade libstdc++ to the version that comes with CentOS 5.6, and then install the libstdc++-4.3.2-7 package back in place.
 
 # rpm -e --nodeps libstdc++-4.3.2-7
 #
 # yum update libstdc++
 [...]
