View source for Skype on 64-Bit Linux

Skype is only available in a 32-bit version, so if you have a 64-bit Linux system, you will have to do some extra work.
<br>
The first step is to install the 32-bit libraries Skype needs to work:
<br>
Become SuperUser/Administrator:
<pre style="color:blue">$ su - root</pre>
<u>OR</u> if you are set up with sudo:
<br>
<pre style="color:blue">$ sudo su - root</pre>Your command prompt should now have a # in it instead of a $, indicating you are now the root super user, as shown here:<br>
(Note: root@localhost may be root@yourmachinename)
<br>
<pre style="color:blue">[root@localhost ~]#</pre>
Update the Qt libraries to the latest version:
<br>
<pre style="color:blue">[root@localhost ~]#yum update qt</pre>
Install 32-bit version of Qt:
<br>
<pre style="color:blue">[root@fusion16 ~]#yum install qt.i686</pre>
Install 32-bit version of Qt for X Windows:
<br>
<pre style="color:blue">[root@fusion16 ~]#yum install qt-x11.i686</pre>
