And yes, I know this is the only post in this thread. I reported this problem with the first Skype beta for Linux, and was dismayed that it happened with the second as well. It occurs with both the RPM and the statically linked version: $ skype & skype: error while loading shared libraries: libXss.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory "yum list" doesn't find anything resembling the desired library. I suggested on Skype's Linux forum that they provide an RPM specifically for Fedora 11, but they still only provide one for "Ten and Up" and it's only 32-bit. Ubuntu gets 64-bit debs, what is Fedora, chopped liver? I made sure I had the i586 versions of all the dependencies. Their download page says it wan't libasound2; am I correct that on Fedora, that is the alsa library? Anyway I installed the 32-bit alsa library, and didn't get any complaints about it when Skype ran. I really, really wanted to use Skype on Fedora so I tracked down the missing dependency: on Fedora it is called libXScrnSaver. If you're running 64-bit as I am, it's not enough to have the 64-bit libXScrnSaver installed, you need to do: # yum install libXScrnSaver.i586 Despite the totally different library filename, it satisfies the dynamic link, and Skype launches right up! The only thing I had to do to get it working after that was to go into the Options and select my Logitech USB headset as the input and output audio device. This was really important for me because my business partner is overseas, and is really into Skype for Mac OS X. I could have used another telephony package for Linux myself, but it would have been much harder for me to get my partner to set up an alternative package on his Mac.
