Skype on Slackware 64

Hi!
I've downloaded the static version (skype_static-2.1.0.81.tar.bz2) and extracted it. Then I tried to start the Skype executable file (./skype) via the terminal but nothing happens.

Code:

root@xxx:~# ls
skype_static-2.1.0.81/  skype_static-2.1.0.81.tar.bz2
root@xxx:~# cd skype_static-2.1.0.81
root@xxx:~/skype_static-2.1.0.81# ls
LICENSE  README  avatars/  icons/  lang/  skype*  skype.conf  skype.desktop  sounds/
root@xxx:~/skype_static-2.1.0.81# ./skype
bash: ./skype: No such file or directory

What am I supposed to do now ?

bznew

BZNEW(1)						      General Commands Manual							  BZNEW(1)

NAME

       bznew -	 recompress .gz or .tgz files to .bz2 files

SYNOPSIS

       bznew [ -ftv9PK] [ name.gz ...  ]

DESCRIPTION

       Bznew  recompresses  files from .gz (gzip) format to .bz2 (bzip2) format.  If you want to recompress a file already in bzip2 format, rename
       the file to force a .bz2 extension then apply bznew.

OPTIONS

       -f     Force recompression from .gz to .bz2 format even if a .bz2 file already exists.

       -t     Tests the new files before deleting originals.

       -v     Verbose. Display the name and percentage reduction for each file compressed.

       -9     Use the slowest compression method (optimal compression).

       -P     Use pipes for the conversion to reduce disk space usage.

       -K     Keep a .gz file when it is smaller than the .bz2 file

SEE ALSO

       bzip2(1), gzip(1)

BUGS

       Bznew does not maintain the time stamp with the -P option if cpmod(1) is not available and touch(1) does not support the -r option.
