Re: Unable to run skype on amd64
Just to complete José Luis' answer, this is the output of the computer
where I did not yet enabled multiarch:
$ LANG=C aptitude show skype | grep Depends -A 2
Depends: lib32stdc++6 (>= 4.1.1-21), lib32asound2 (> 1.0.14), ia32-libs,
libc6-i386 (>= 2.7-1), lib32gcc1 (>= 1:4.1.1-21+ia32.libs.1.19),
ia32-libs-gtk
Please, verify that you have all those packages installed.
