skype on slack 13

siawash · 04-09-2010, 08:20 AM

I downloaded and installed the slackbuild version but cannot run it. Here is what I get when I run the skype command from the terminal. Does that mean the 32 bit application wont work on 64 bit version?

Code:

sudo skype
Password:
sudo: unable to execute /usr/bin/skype: No such file or directory

And as root

Code:

siawacsh@zorro:~$ su
Password: 
root@zorro:/home/siawacsh# skype
bash: /usr/bin/skype: No such file or directory

When I look at /usr/bin

Code:


-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 13859316 2008-05-28 11:16 skype*

32-bit apps won't work till you make your system multilib:

I ran into a minor problem when installing Skype on my multilib system:
