In a terminal type:
install ia32-libs ia32-libs-gtk libqt4-core libqt4-gui
wget -O skype-install.deb http://www.skype.com/go/getskype-linux-beta-ubuntu-64
– This will install the 32-bit compatibility dependencies, download the Skype client
then:
sudo dpkg -i skype-install.deb
– this will install Skype
There is a know issue with Pulse Audio libraries crashing Skype in Debian Squeeze, use this work around:
In a terminal type:
sudo chmod a-r /usr/lib32/libpulse{-simple.so.0.0.2,.so.0.8.0,common-0.9.15.so}
