Installing Skype on 64-bit Fedora 14

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I install the skype RPM first, then try to run it. If I get an error complaining
about not finding libasound.so.2, I run "locate libasound.so.2" which locates
the corresponding 64-bit file (/lib64/libasound.so.2), then use "rpm -qf
/lib64/libasound.so.2" to find which package it belongs to (alsa-lib.x86_64),
then install the corresponding 32-bit package (alsa-lib.i686). Attempting to run
skype again, I'll get the same type of error with a different library, so I
repeat the process. After about a dozen iterations of this, it finally runs.
This would probably work just as well using commands such as "yum install
/lib/libasound.so.2" to let yum automatically identify the corresponding package.
