   I believe the get-skype script need's updating, as the URL used for the script to download the files, is not correct anymore.

   You can download and use Skype directly, download the Static version.

   Step 1 : Download

   http://www.skype.com/intl/en/get-skype/on-your-computer/linux/downloading.static

   (*) Download to your Home folder

   Step 2 : Unzip

   Command: tar --bzip2 -xvf skype_static-2.2.0.35.tar.bz2

   Step 3 : In Skype folder

   And run the command: ./skype

   Or you can also give 2 clicks in Skype script

   I use the static version of Skype in Slitaz 3.0 without dependency problems.

   Just download and run Skype script.

   I don't really understand you guys...

   The matter is the get-skype script has a broken link. It doesn't works it's an unuseful script.
   And if you don't believe you can't just untar and play skype, try:
   ->LIVE CD (so you wont have dependent packages already installed)
   ->download skype from the website
   ->run -> *Error*

   from get-skype script:
   DEPENDS="libsigc++ xorg-libXv xorg-libXss libv4l"

   = =''

   Try this while connected to internet:
   Open xterm become root
   #tazpkg get-install get-skype
   #get-skype
   Menu/Internet/Skype

   Work's here on slitaz-3.0 stable and cooking.

    Maybe, because current version is 2.2.0.99?
    In step 2 you want to unpack file, that you downloaded in step 1.

    Forgot to mention that I changed the command in step 2 to 99 instead of 35.
    I've double clicked on both skype-icons in the skype folder (which folder I've moved to my home folder - the one carrying my name).
    No skype under Menu->internet->

    Skype icons not helps you to start application. Double click "sheet of paper" or "gears" with name of file "skype". There is no other files in this folder with the same name.

    The get-skype script is fixed: http://hg.slitaz.org/wok-stable/rev/77573a5d68f8
    Skype won't start because there is a shared lib problem.
    root@slitaz:# skype
    skype: error while loading shared libraries: libtiff.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
    As root:
    ln -s /usr/lib/libtiff.so.3.9.5 /usr/lib/libtiff.so.4
