latest skype

Good News,
  The latest Linux Skype (Skype 1.4.0.118-oss) has a version
that works on linux brandz with sound. I have only so far
tested it on Centos 3.8 (Linux Kernel 2.4). Sound does seem
to have a slight latency problem though :( One interesting
solution is maybe to directly use any underlying oss solaris
drivers, rather the convert from Linux oss -> sun audio
-> Solaris oss.

If people are interested I could put together the necessary
updated rpm's required for it to work.

I think if OSS gets integrated into OS/Net (I think that was
the plan?),
having zones be able to map the OSS stuff into the local
zone would be nice.

hello,
i've got your tar file containing RPMs, because when i'm
trying to lauch 
skype:
[henrylinux skype_static-1.4.0.118-oss]$ ./skype
./skype: error while loading shared libraries:
libXfixes.so.3: cannot 
open shared object file: No such file or directory

but it seems that it lack some rpms:
-bash-2.05b# rpm -ivh i386/libXfixes-*
error: Failed dependencies:
         xorg-x11-filesystem >= 0.99.2-3 is needed by 
libXfixes-devel-4.0.1-2.1
         xorg-x11-proto-devel >= 7.0-7 is needed by 
libXfixes-devel-4.0.1-2.1
-bash-2.05b# rpm -ivh
i386/xorg-x11-proto-devel-7.1-9.i386.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
         xorg-x11-filesystem >= 0.99.2-3 is needed by 
xorg-x11-proto-devel-7.1-9

but there is no xorg-x11-filesystem.

How can i achieve this?

thanks in advance for your help,

iirc, centos has a package manager named yum that allows you
to
download and install packages.  also, you could install your
zone
from centos iso images, and then install all packages.

but not in this case. skype needs libXfixes, but this seems
related to 
Xorg, and CEntos has only XFree86. And yes, i need yum:
-bash-2.05b# yum search xfix
Gathering header information file(s) from server(s)
Server: CentOS-3 - Addons
Server: CentOS-3 - Base
Server: CentOS-3 - Extras
Server: CentOS-3 - Updates
Finding updated packages
Downloading needed headers
Looking in available packages for a providing package
No packages found
Looking in installed packages for a providing package
No packages found

i am curious how doug scott has tested skype in centos?
Perhaps you can 
tell me what depositary i can use for centos 3.7, because,
my search on 
the web show me things from Centos 4.X, and i'm not very
confident with 
this sort of distribution. I just want to use skype, that's
my need.

Thanks for your reply,

ah.
it sounds like you're probably using some newer version of
skype
that no longer supports centos 3.x.  when i tested skype i
used
skype_staticQT-1.2.0.18.  i know some other people have used
more
recent versions, but i don't have any details, you might
try
searching previous posts on this alias.
