Skype on dell d620

[chrisstuck]

I am new to this and have lots to learn . I have installed ubuntu 8.10 in a dual install with windows so I can carry on using the laptop while I learn about this .
However the catch is my net connection works much better under ubuntu that xp but I can not install skype . When I boot straight from the cd , I can install skype no problem . When I try from the installed version I get

error:dependency is not satisfiable : lib4-core

Anyone have any idea what I need to do ?

Thanks

Chris

If you have the .deb package I suggest you try installing it from the terminal:

cd name_of_the_folder_where_the_package_is_located

sudo dpkg -i whatever.deb


now let's fix the broken dependency thing. open the terminal again and type:

sudo aptitude -f install

Ran the fix line and it sorted out whatever was stopping the install .

One day I will know what it did .

Thanks
