I'm new to TinyMe and I'm trying to install skype.

Of course I cannot find it in the repositories, so I'm trying to compile it myself (tar.bz2).

When I open the tar.bz2 I find no configure file and the readme doesn't say much. There is also an executable, but if I try to run:

./skype:error while loading shared libraries: libXss.so.1:cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Trying to download the missing lib, using (as root)
apt-get install libXss.so.1
I get
E: Couldn't find package libXss.so.1

What could I do to get Skype running? (Does this go for all programs that are not in the repositories?)

It is in the repos!

Did you click reload in Synaptic? You are supposed to have one PCLinuxOS repository as well as the TinyMe repository. Skype should be in the PCLinuxOS repository.
