Installing Skype in 64-bit Ubuntu

15 Jan

Skype unfortunately don’t provide a version for Ubuntu 64. It’s still possible to install the statically compiled 32 bit version using the following commands:

  1. sudo apt-get install ia32-libs lib32asound2 lib32ncurses5 ia32-libs-sdl ia32-libs-gtk lib32stdc++6
  2. cd /opt
  3. sudo tar xjf skype_static-1.4.0.118.tar.bz2

Then just run /opt/skype_static-1.4.0.118/skype
