I am trying to convince the dept and/or systems group to ship me one of |
| 20 |
their "loaner laptops" that has skype installed. |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
But I "promised" to try to install it on my main laptop (gentoo). |
| 23 |
On a backup laptop I went to the skype website and picked up the generic |
| 24 |
linux binary. However it complained that I don't have the libraries it |
| 25 |
needs, presumably because it wants /usr/lib32 and I have /usr/lib64. |
