skype binary exists but reports none when executed!

Post by garby »

I downloaded the SLKBUILD package from http://people.salixos.org/djemos/salix-13.1/skype/ and slkbuild it and executied ./builpkg.sh which further created skype-2.1.0.81-x86_64-1dj.txz. Installed it with installpkg and went all well.

But when I try to launch skype in commandline, it reports:
$ skype
bash: /usr/bin/skype: No such file or directory
Though ls -la shows that the file exists!
$ ls -la /usr/bin/skype*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 18567888 2010-01-18 11:23 /usr/bin/skype
What went wrong? hmmm!! Any hint?

Skype is a 32bit binary. You can't run it in a 64bit system.
