SKYPE 2.1.0.47 is a 32bit native app, so it requires some 32bit libs from 32bit repo.
Many users seem not to understand how to do to properly install this program.
Now if we want Skype, we need it, but we don't know how to do?
Here a simply solution.
We could use the 32bit package rpm in 64bit environment, following this little guide which provide:
adding some repos, installing all the necessary packages, removing the repos added just little before.
You must have all the default repositories already well configured and enabled (mdv, plf and mib)
Open a Terminal/Konsole root section, copy the code above, press Enter, and wait for a while
