Hi, Peter:
This 'skype' is rather new to me and I only have it working well using Windows 2000 & Windows XP. It 'works' with Slackware v9.1, but the audio is not good.
I am suggesting that you try with a fresh install of Slackware so that it will not be confused with a 'rpm' install of libraries from another distribution.
Skype 'works' for me when invoked from a Xwindow terminal. My Xwindow environment is Gnome (Slackware v9.1 default). I guess I installed (or it defaulted to) Skype binary into /usr/local/bin. I run Gnome in Xwindows, open a terminal windows and enter 'skype'. Viola! it runs.
OBTW, my brother has Skype running on at least one desktop and one laptop under Slackware. I'll BC: him and maybe he can offer some help or hints. John: This is 'linux-newbie'. http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
Are there archives of linux-newbie?
HTH, Chuck
