ps:
you know skype is not open source and provided for linux as-is by microsoft?
you simply have to upgrade.
But he went to the Community Forum! He's asking about a distribution-specific package, so the official 4MLinux forum is the right place to ask the question.

I guess he knows. Here is the output of the installation script:
Code:
root@4MLinux:~$ 4mlinuX getskype
Skype is a proprietary software package.
Visit http://www.skype.com for details.
Do you wish to download and install Skype now (y/n)?:

are you saying the message quoted was generated by 4mlinux itself, and not by skype?
in that case i apologize.
i never posted to 4mlinux subforum because the only thing i know about it is that its packaging is different from anything i ever used...
i thought this case is so simple that i can answer - apparently i was wrong.
in retrospect, it does seem a bi weird that skype would ask you to go to their community forum to upgrade...

Hi,
Generated by Skype, of course. However the upstream offers 64-bit Skype only, while 4MLinux is a 32-bit system, so it should be rather obvious that 4MLinux cannot use the vanilla version of Skype, but it must maintain its own solution.
