Skype missing shared object file

My Skype refused to start, saying following error:

skype: error while loading shared libraries: libGL.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

First locate “missing” library or use find / -name libGL.so.1 command.

locate libGL.so.1

/etc/alternatives/glx--libGL.so.1-x86_64-linux-gnu
/etc/alternatives/nvidia--libGL.so.1-x86_64-linux-gnu
/usr/lib/mesa-diverted/i386-linux-gnu/libGL.so.1
/usr/lib/mesa-diverted/i386-linux-gnu/libGL.so.1.2.0
/usr/lib/mesa-diverted/x86_64-linux-gnu/libGL.so.1
/usr/lib/mesa-diverted/x86_64-linux-gnu/libGL.so.1.2.0
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libGL.so.1
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/nvidia/libGL.so.1
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/nvidia/current/libGL.so.1

I’m using Intel Graphics, so I picked up Mesa driver. Skype is i386 application. My choice was the directory below containing “missing” library.

nano /etc/ld.so.conf.d/skype.conf

/usr/lib/mesa-diverted/i386-linux-gnu/

Happy Skyping!
