Quoting Beech Rintoul <beech@freebsd.org> (from Sun, 16 Mar 2008 23:11:21 -0800): > I've run into a problem starting skype as a normal user: > > $ skype --resources=/usr/local/share/skype > *** glibc detected *** skype: double free or corruption (!prev): > 0x092ad7f0 *** I remember some error reports like this (with other programs). The outcome was either that we are not able to find the cause, or that the glibc version used is broken (and a newer one fixes the problem). I don't remember which of those it was. Which linux base are you using? If it is fc4, please try with a more recent one. If it is not fc4, please try with fc4. If the problems occurs with both, it would be interesting to know what is happening (this would involve building skype, fontconfig and/or glibc with debug symbols).
