. I think these libraries is build for any other processor. but i didnt do anything. please help me
Try removing skype using aptitude and the purge option. Then try aptitude install skype and see if that works. Sometimes aptitude can deal with problems that apt can't. I use it in cases like this and it usually solves my problem.
it is not from another processor. It is from x86 same processor. but different computer. i compiled the code in intel dual core and installed Atom processor netbook. thas all. But bpth are x86 processor only.
I cant install skype 2.1.0.81 on my Linux 7.04 Ubuntu...PLS help? I have download package of skype but when i install it says wrong arhitecture "amd 64"!
check your system and see if it requires a 32 bit package or a 64 bit package and then if download the right architecture for your machine, when you open it, it will be installed upon your command, as i can see looks like you downloaded a 64 bit package when your pc is a 32 bit system
as a matter of fact both of you guyz should go to this site and download either a 32 bit or 64 bit skype for linux depending on your PC's and install them, i hope this helps http://skype.in/intl/en-us/get-skype...post-download/
I have a skype on my AMD64 debian box. Use to be often that skype would fail after updates and often when I first installed it.
What I leaned to do was launch it from a console and see what erros appeared if any.
Note this is on debian so you made need a distribution specific command.
If library errors I would then do the following:
Find out where skype binary is:
whereis skype
Find out what library's the skype binary needs using ldd
ldd /usr/bin/skype
I tend to do this though as it just tells me if anything is missing:
ldd /usr/bin/skype | grep 'not found'
If there is a missing 32 bit library, I then search debian for this library and download the .deb file. Then I extract the package files and manually install them (cp) into the correct location:
So I had these files missing at some point:
dpkg -x libasound2_1.0.16-2_i386.deb libasound2
dpkg -x zlib1g_1.2.3.3.dfsg-12_i386.deb zlib1g
dpkg -x libstdc++6_4.3.2-1.1_i386.deb libstdc++6
dpkg -x libgcc1_4.3.2-1.1_i386.deb libgcc
Here are the notes I refer to when skype goes wrong, which it has not for ages lately.
If no results all is good so run skype, if not....
libasound.so.2 => not found
libXv.so.1 => not found
libXss.so.1 => not found
libSM.so.6 => not found
libICE.so.6 => not found
libXi.so.6 => not found
libXrender.so.1 => not found
libXrandr.so.2 => not found
libfreetype.so.6 => not found
libfontconfig.so.1 => not found
libXext.so.6 => not found
libX11.so.6 => not found
libz.so.1 => not found
libgthread-2.0.so.0 => not found
libstdc++.so.6 => not found
libgcc_s.so.1 => not found
libpcre.so.3 => not found
3) get missing libs 32 bit ones from debian
4) Extract the files: eg for libasound2
dpkg -x libasound2_1.0.16-2_i386.deb libasound2
5) Copy the library and library link to (/opt/ copy for future preserves):
/opt/Skype/usr-lib32
/usr/lib32
6) Repeat step 2 until nothing missing
It works for me, but do listen to any expert if they say not to do this.

Jomabo please don't hijack threads. If you have a question then start your own thread. It gets very confusing when different people are asking different things on the same thread.
