Public bug reported:

Hello,

I had the following issue on a x64 Ubuntu:
I just installed skype via apt-get. On running it, I get some error saying that libGL.so.1 is not found.

I solved the problem by adding a file /usr/local/bin/skype (see
atachment) setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH. This is quick and dirty but does it
for me.

I am unsure, why the library is not found by the loader. There seems to
be no config file for the library loader. in /etc/ld.so.conf.d. I think
(but am not sure) that this should be set up correctly by the libgl1
-mesa-dri package.

Release: Ubuntu 13.04 
skype: 4.2.0.11-0ubuntu0.12.04.1
libgl1-mesa-dri:i386: 9.1.1-0ubuntu3
