I would advise you to use the Skype ¨echo123¨ test service to see if it works
properly first before going any further.

I doubt its a slackware problem but an incompatablity problem with lib
versions used by slackware, i would like to hunt down problems like this but
i just dont have the time thesedays, i have to work for a living again -;)

skype is reported to work under a default slackware-10 distro on the skype
site and it does say what you need to do to get it going under slackware, if
you reasd the mail on the skype site you will see that many people say that
slackware is the most choosy when it comes to getting skype going.
Just why that is lord knows.
