Hello everyone, I realize this has probably been asked before but I am somewhat new to this group. I wanted to try out Skype so installed lpf-skype. Everything went fine. The sound test didn't play any sounds, but I can connect and even see the other person so that's cool. No, I did not expect it to get this far :). I researched this sound issue and found that it can possibly be solved by installing some 32-bit components: yum -y install libv4l.i686 pulseaudio-libs.i686 alsa-plugins-pulseaudio.i686 However, when I ran this I got the dreaded: Error: Multilib version problems found. This often means that the root cause is something else and multilib version checking is just pointing out that there is a problem. Eg.: 1. You have an upgrade for libv4l which is missing some dependency that another package requires. Yum is trying to solve this by installing an older version of libv4l of the different architecture. If you exclude the bad architecture yum will tell you what the root cause is (which package requires what). You can try redoing the upgrade with --exclude libv4l.otherarch ... this should give you an error message showing the root cause of the problem. 2. You have multiple architectures of libv4l installed, but yum can only see an upgrade for one of those architectures. If you don't want/need both architectures anymore then you can remove the one with the missing update and everything will work. 3. You have duplicate versions of libv4l installed already. You can use "yum check" to get yum show these errors. ...you can also use --setopt=protected_multilib=false to remove this checking, however this is almost never the correct thing to do as something else is very likely to go wrong (often causing much more problems). Protected multilib versions: libv4l-1.6.2-1.fc21.i686 != libv4l-1.6.0-1.fc21.x86_64 I understand most of this, I would just like some advice on what the best solution is. Of course the BEST solution would be to have a 64-bit version of Skype for Fedora. Not sure why that is taking so long. Does someone just need to volunteer to do the port? If it's written in C I'll do it. Jim Lewis
