skype in brandz on SXDE4

hello all,
i'm trying to execute skype in brandz and got this error:
-bash-2.05b$ skype-1.4.0.118/skype
skype-1.4.0.118/skype: error while loading shared libraries:

libasound.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file
or directory
I have CentOS release 3.7 (Final), Kernel 2.4.21 on an i686

After reading:
http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/solarisx86/message
/43017
i understand this is normal, but also found this info from
darren moffat:
http://blogs.sun.com/darren/entry/skype_1.3.0.53_
on_solaris_via
he talks about libasound that it succeed in recompiling.
But i don't understand where he took the source files for
libasound?
Anybody knows how to deal with skype?

thanks in advance for help,

gerard

ok, thanks for your reply. Not a very useful response,
because i don't 
want to install kernel 2.6 (qemu fits my needs).
I'm very disappointed that everything that works in brandz
is totally 
useless. I'm very impressed by everything done in
(Open)Solaris, 
generally speaking, but i don't understand why chatting with
skype in 
brandz is better than just using pidgin in native
solaris/opensolaris
and now, i'm trying to compile SFEpulseaudio and have new
problems, but 
that's another story that need a post on different channel.

Thanks for your help,

gerard
