[opensuse] Installing Skype in openSUSE 10.3
I have downloaded the openSUSE 10+ version of Skype, and have an icon on the desktop, but all efforts at getting it to be installed so that it will operate have failed. How do I get Skype up and running? Brian Mines. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

What version did you download? Did you happen to grab an older Beta build or something that was dynamically linked? There were issues with some of the 1.4x Beta builds a while back that have since been solved. The "old" 1.4 version is here: http://www.skype.com/download/skype/linux/ The "new" 2.0 Beta version is here: http://www.skype.com/intl/en/download/skype/linux/beta/ I am using the Beta version and it's very stable... video works well. Worth a look. Have you started Skype from the command line to see what error messages are being generated?

Yup! Confirmed. I have been using both versions 1.4 and 2.0 in openSuSE 10.2 and 10.3 successfully in the 64-bit version of the system as well. But I always go for the static binary rather then the rpm though I have used the package on another 10.3 and it worked well. On 15/01/2008, Clayton <smaug42@gmail.com> wrote:

Many thanks, Clayton. That was a quick reply. I had just sent the Email and looked to see if there were new ones. I will try your advice. Brian MInes. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
