Scype on Dapper

[meshica7]

Has anyone gotten Scype to work on Dapper?
I downloaded the latest Skype for Linux (Ubuntu) but the install deb says that I have the wrong architecture.
Any folks have similiar scenarios?

have you tried only getting the source code for skype?

with that all you have to do is (in terminal) go to the tar.gz file, unpack it, then inside the unpacked folder do;
$ ./configure
$ make
$ makeinstall

done. you should then be able to run it, although I have had problems using this method of installation (and no one has helped me yet ) but this method does work.

I'll give that a try.thanx!

I have not had any luck using this method. When I input the ./configure command from within the unpacked Scype folder,I get a return of:

No such file or directory

Any ideas?
Thanx
