skype video issue

[wetinwales]

SORRY THIS IS IN THE WRONG THREAD.

I am running jaunty 9.04 on a four core amd 64bit with the deb skype 2.1.0.47 installed from skype website.
I have a Logitech QuickCam Messenger which works good in Cheese.

As you all guessed... I get the green or multicolored hash in the Skype Video test.
Finger accross camera changes colours etc.

I have tried every version of solution I can find in forums - Preload v4l1, renaming of /usr/bin/skype.real etc etc... all to no avail.

I have checked the libs and they all seem to be "newest versions"

I think I am now lost.

Here is terminal output clue?

me@comp:~$ ERROR: ld.so: object '/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l1compat.so' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded: ignored.
ERROR: ld.so: object '/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l1compat.so' from /etc/ld.so.preload cannot be preloaded: ignored.
Gtk-Message: Failed to load module "canberra-gtk-module": /usr/lib/gtk-2.0/modules/libcanberra-gtk-module.so: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64

So many posts claim success for various solutions. None for me !!!!

Can anybody help ?

Thanks
