I downloaded the skype install script and follow the directions by running cd ~ and sh skype.sh but I still get download failed aborting even after the download completes. So I changed the version in the script to the newest one skype_static-2.2.0.35.tar.bz but I can't figure out how to find the new md5sum from the website. And also is there anything else that I need to change in the script to get it working. Details pleaseeeeeee!

Thanks George, ;)

I loaded skype statis according this advice  http://forum.tinycorelinux.net/index.php/topic,10034.msg54786.html#msg54786
no md5 was required.
there was an issue with my pc (but nearly 100% sure not with skype).
So, have a look into the links given there?

Thanks floppy but I believe I am all set now. I just simply downloaded the newest tar.bz2 and untard it. It seems good so far BUT I never made it into an extension. I did  NOT even use the script. I'm not sure if that matters. It actually seemed a little to easy. ???

you dont need an extension for this static. If you need it, I could search again how I started this static program (this is not on the pc I am currently in this forum)

bash has remained from the original script, but it still works ::)

thanks for it. I can receive video and sound. But I have still issues in sending my picture.
But, could we have the version for the latest skype (no OSS). This oss-version dont have a screen capture function of my wxcam picture (or at least.. I did not find it..)

if i understand correctly, then wxcam shows,
but skype doesn't send a picture
really, for me skype gives an errors in console
Code: [Select]
tc@box:~$ skype
Skype V4L2: Could not find a suitable capture format
Skype V4L2: Could not find a suitable capture format
Starting the process...
Skype Xv: Xv ports available: 33
Skype XShm: XShm support enabled
Skype Xv: Using Xv port 63
Skype Xv: No suitable overlay format found

maybe should try to run skype, as recommended in this case
Code: [Select]
LD_PRELOAD=/usr/local/lib/libv4l/v4l1compat.so /usr/local/bin/skypeor
Code: [Select]
LD_PRELOAD=/usr/local/lib/libv4l/v4l2convert.so /usr/local/bin/skype
this must be tested, because unfortunately i'm can't test this now
now test picture is not visible for me, but possible that video is sent
