Skype is in fact a 32-bit program even if it's packaged for 64-bit. When downloading Skype from skype.com, you won't install the necessary 32-bit compatibility libraries on Ubuntu Oneiric. The error is a bit misleading, but it means that 32-bit compatibility libraries are not installed on a 64-bit machine.



The recommended method to install Skype is throught the Partner repository.




  1. Uninstall the Skype package using the Software Center. If you cannot find it, open a terminal and run:



    sudo apt-get purge skype

  2. Enable the partner repository

  3. Refresh the packages information and install Skype from the Software Center (package "skype")
