This is not a "real" 64-bit version of Skype, it's just a Debian package converted to RPM using alien:
$ rpm -qip skype-2.2.0.35-2.x86_64.rpm Name : skype [...] (Converted from a deb package by alien version 8.85.) The Debian package itself only embeds the only available 32-bit version of Skype with some packaging tricks to make easier its installation on a 64-bit Debian. By the way, this RPM wouldn't work if prelink is installed (this is the case in a default Fedora installation): prelink modifies binaries to fast up their execution. But the skype executable has a internal routine to check if it was modified; in such a case, it won't launch. You RPM doesn't contain any conf. file to avoid prelink from touching the skype executable. At last, did you get the permission from Skype to redistribute their binaries? For all these reasons, I'd avoid this strange RPM like the plague... -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
