I guess it makes no sense for skype to need the GCC, since you do not (can not) compile skype, it is close-sourced. You could download skype from the pages and just unpack it and hope it will work. BTW: IMO skype should not be allowed near a computer that needs to be "hardened" -- personally, I do not trust it a bit (and I know a little about the quality how it is written, and it talks by network). -- I left the ssh key under the doormat Michal 'vorner' Vaner
