The skype binaries are 32-bit where as your system is 64-bit like mine. (I know its fedora, but its close enough to SL for this) While setting up skype for my system after considerable struggle I finally got it all working the dirty way, installing the 32-bit libraries. rpm -qa \*skype\* skype-2.0.0.72-fc5.i586 rpm -qa \*alsa\* alsa-plugins-pulseaudio-1.0.18-2.fc10.x86_64 alsa-lib-1.0.20-1.fc10.x86_64 alsa-lib-devel-1.0.20-1.fc10.x86_64 alsa-lib-1.0.20-1.fc10.i386 alsa-utils-1.0.20-2.fc10.x86_64 alsa-plugins-pulseaudio-1.0.18-2.fc10.i386 -- Suvayu Open source is the future. It sets us free.
