symbol lookup error: skype

If skype  login window is not opening. Open terminal

run skype from terminal
>skype

root@Jeevan:/home/jeevan# skype

if you get output :
skype: symbol lookup error: skype: undefined symbol: _ZN19QAbstractProxyModel11setItemDataERK11QModelIndexRK4QMapIi8QVariantE


then fix is to add  LD_LIBRARY_PATH :
>sudo gedit /usr/share/applications/skype.desktop
 at line "Exec=env PULSE_LATENCY_MSEC=60 skype %U"
add  " LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/ "

root@Jeevan:/home/jeevan# sudo gedit /usr/share/applications/skype.desktop

Exec=env PULSE_LATENCY_MSEC=60 LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/ skype %U
