Yes, I tried that but no go. Error message is a rather cryptic jonat...@lappy:~/dwhelper/skype_static-2.0.0.72$ ./skype bash: ./skype: No such file or directory but that file, skype itself, does exist: jonat...@lappy:~/dwhelper/skype_static-2.0.0.72$ ll skype -rwxr-xr-x 1 jonathan jonathan 20356964 2008-05-28 20:21 skype Anyhow, hopefully the maintainers will make the ia32-libs etc installable with libc6-i386 so I can get skype working.
