I am trying to convince the dept and/or systems group to ship me one of their "loaner laptops" that has skype installed. But I "promised" to try to install it on my main laptop (gentoo). On a backup laptop I went to the skype website and picked up the generic linux binary. However it complained that I don't have the libraries it needs, presumably because it wants /usr/lib32 and I have /usr/lib64. allan
