Not really sure. On amd64 this requires some of the app-emulation/emul-linux-x86-* packages (since skype is a 32 bit app), but it should pull them by itself... What does: # equery check app-emulation/emul-linux-x86-compat give? What version of skype are you using? Please also post the output of: # emerge --info -- Bo Andresen
