Earlier last year I had a 5.7 system running with skype. It worked fine. Later last year I had to reinstall my entire system. I didn't install skype then. Yesterday I tried to find a version of skype to use on 5.7, but couldn't find one on skype.com; there's no version for RH/CentOS 5.7. Does anyone know where a working skype can be found?
Thanks.

When I tried to run it, it errored out:
# ./skype: /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.9' not found (required by ./skype)
[1]+ Exit 1 ./skype
This was with skype_static-2.2.0.35, the one recommended for CentOS version 5.x in the HOW-TO. So the how-to is either wrong or it's missing some information.

The How-To recommends skype_static-2.1.0.47 (not 2.2.x) for CentOS 5. It's still available at the link in the How-To.

skype_static-2.1.0.81 works very well here, 5.7 and previous.

My own rpm, static in rpm, with avatars added: http://rpms.plnet.rs/plnet-centos5-i386/RPMS.plnet/skype-2.1.0.81-1.el5.noar...
It should not need anything else, but ask if necessary.

Is this the kind of package that's appropriate for the CentOS contrib repository?

I have posted numerous times all over the internet about packages I compiled from CentOS (5 and 6). I have not received any communication from anyone interested in using them in other repositories.
Fell free to use/submit rpm's and src.rpms I packaged in any repository. I do not have much free time, so I am not interested in maintaining newer versions of those packages, especially 5.x packages since (almost) all are latest versions able to build on CentOS 5.x

Yves,
Thanks. You're correct. And it runs... sort of. It loads, but won't connect. There's some kind of networking problem. I'm trying to figure out how to isolate the problem, i.e., where on my network the connection is failing.
Thank you and others who have responded.

I've found that Skype can take a long time to connect when it's first used on a system. Make sure to wait long enough.

I use this old version on my CentOS 5.7 i386: wget http://download.skype.com/linux/skype_static-2.2.0.35.tar.bz2 But I do not remember what specific packages it needed, if any...

As posted be a responder to this thread, skype_static-2.1.0.47 does work on CentOS 5.7.
