I am using proxychains on Ubuntu 15.10 an have googled this issue many times and cannot find it. The problem is that skype is a 32bit application and proxychains is installed as a 64bit, so it isn't able to work with skype. I have googled this issue and found no legitimate solutions.
EDIT: not only does it not work for skype, but there are other applications as well that I have that are 32bit that it doesn't work with.
I also tried googling how to run a 32bit program on Ubuntu 15.10. To be clear, I do not just need to run it, it has to be ran as a 32bit and the libraries need to be downloaded as 32bit. Since i am on 64bit and proxychains is 64bit it already runs, just not with skype. Does anyone know I can fix this and get it working without the LD_PRELOAD error?
Best Answer
Install the 32-bit package of
libproxychains3
and read Why are there so many 32-bit dependencies for Skype?.
