*** glibc detected *** skype: free(): invalid pointer:
Thursday, January 18th, 2007I installed xubuntu recently. When I am running skype, some bad things happened. No response from computer. I run it in teminal windows. some words like “*** glibc detected *** skype: free(): invalid pointer: ” show up. I didn’t know what happened, I tried to reinstall, remove and install it, nothing happened. I searched Internet and fund some people have the exactly same problem. The following is the solution.
$ unset QT_IM_MODULE; skype
or
$ QT_IM_MODULE=”" skype
or
$ alias skype=’QT_IM_MODULE=”" skype’
