Hi Lars, I'm using it... but not the .deb package! ;-) Just download the static version, untar it and run... :-) Wait... I found a problem with a library Skype needed: it was the i386 version of libXss, iirc. To solve this little problem, simply download it from packages.debian.org, decompress the package with dpkg (-x option) and copy the libXss.* files in /usr/lib32 (pay attention not to copy it in /usr/lib or /usr/lib64, since you'd overwrite the 64bit version!). That's all... it works here! Hope it helps. mfv -- Matteo F.
