Skype on Fedora 14

[Nicolae Ghimbovschi]

Try to see which library is missing.

>From terminal:

ldd `which skype`


An example:

ldd `which ping`
        libresolv.so.2 => not found
        libc.so.6 => /lib64/libc.so.6 (0x00002aaaab0f9000)
        /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00002aaaaacc7000)


from the output can be seen that libresolv.so.2 is missing.
So you can tell yum to install the package which provides this library.


# yum install libresolv.so.2
