Hi!

Try:

Code:

file skype

If it says that skype is an "ELF 32-bit LSB executable" then you can look here:
Multilib Slackware for x86_64 - Alien's Wiki,
to see how to enable your 64-bit Slackware to run 32-bit programs by installing "multilib" versions of system libraries.

I have installed those multilib packages but still had a problem with skype: it's login window appeared, but after the password being entered it crashed with the message (on terminal):

Code:

Inconsistency detected by ld.so: dl-open.c: 623: _dl_open: Assertion `_dl_debug_initialize (0, args.nsid)->r_state == RT_CONSISTENT' failed!

After some googling I have found that something is wrong with pulseaudio shared libraries which skype it trying to load at run time. I don't use PulseAudio anyway (I'm using ALSA), so I just have removed them (there should be no libpulse* shared library files in /usr/lib/ or /usr/lib32/). Now my skype works. (I have the dynamically linked version from the file: skype-ubuntu-intrepid_2.1.0.81-1_amd64.deb. Despite it's name it contains a 32-bit executable as the 'file skype' command shows).

LEARN ABOUT NETBSD

compat_netbsd32

COMPAT_NETBSD32(8)					    BSD System Manager's Manual 					COMPAT_NETBSD32(8)

NAME

     compat_netbsd32 -- setup procedure for 32-bit compatibility on 64-bit platforms

DESCRIPTION

     The compat_netbsd32 module allows NetBSD/sparc64 to run NetBSD/sparc executables, and NetBSD/amd64 to run NetBSD/i386 executables.

     To use compat_netbsd32, one must either have COMPAT_NETBSD32 and EXEC_ELF32 in the kernel, or load the compat_netbsd32 and exec_netbsd32 ker-
     nel modules.

     Static executables typically need no additional setup.  Dynamic binaries require the dynamic linker plus shared libraries.  Most of these
     files will need to be placed under /emul/netbsd32.

     The easiest method of installing support for these is via the emulators/netbsd32_compat14, emulators/netbsd32_compat15, and
     emulators/netbsd32_compat16 packages, provided in the NetBSD packages collection.	These install 32-bit a.out and ELF compatibility
     libraries, respectively.  The details of what is actually necessary for correct operation are given below.  This obviously is handled by the
     emulator packages.

     For a.out compatibility, /usr/libexec/ld.so from a 32-bit distribution is required to exist as /emul/netbsd32/usr/libexec/ld.so.  For 32-bit
     ELF compatibility, /usr/libexec/ld.elf_so needs to be in /emul/netbsd32/usr/libexec/ld.elf_so.

     The shared libraries for a.out binaries do not live under the /emul/netbsd32 directory, but under the /emul/aout directory, where the a.out
     dynamic linker will find them.

BUGS

     A list of things which fail to work in compatibility mode should be here.

     IPC is not well supported.

     sysctl(3) is not well supported.
