libxcb problem

[Jon Senior]

I'm in the middle of constructing a Linux From Scratch system and have successfully built xorg 7.2 with which I have no problems except for the following:

Skype have released a new version of their software for Linux which is based around glibc2.4. Sadly, the version that LFS were using is 2.3 which leaves me with the unhappy choice of either rebuilding the entire system again, or using the statically compiled version of Skype. I have solved the other dependancy issues, but attempts to run it result in it crashing out with the following.

skype: xcb_xlib.c:41: xcb_xlib_lock: Assertion `!c->xlib.lock' failed

A browse online suggested that this was the result of a change to the xcb library, but I have no idea where to begin to debug it. I'm using the vanilla 7.2 system so version numbers are as per that release. No other errors appear.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Jon
