Re: Skype on 64bit without multilib and pulseaudio
Instead of trying to build the Skype package, I suggest you install the pre built binary package that djemos provided. Here the link:sqlpython wrote:Anyway, I am going to battle a bit more with this 64 bit Salix install upon which I am typing this...
Everything else works perfectly.

Download the package for this link, then remove all skype and pulseaudion packages that you may have installed, cd to the directoy where you downloaded the skype-nomultlib package and install it by doing this:
Code: Select all
$ sudo spkg -i skype-nomultilib-4.3.0.37-x86_64-1dj.txz

Re: Skype on 64bit without multilib and pulseaudio
As i wrote above even if pulseaudio included in static build of skype-nomultilib package avahi need to exist. A greek user in a forum in another site wrote that he had no sound and problem solved when installed avahi.
On a dynamic build of pulseaudio avahi is a dep.

You are of course correct. If I remove avahi and start Skype I get this error message,djemos wrote:As i wrote above even if pulseaudio included in static build of skype-nomultilib package avahi need to exist.
and no sound./usr/share/skype/bin/pulseaudio: error while loading shared libraries: libavahi-client.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Installing avahi results in no error messages and working sound.
