I am trying to convince the dept and/or systems group to ship me one of
their "loaner laptops" that has skype installed.
But I "promised" to try to install it on my main laptop (gentoo).
On a backup laptop I went to the skype website and picked up the generic
linux binary. However it complained that I don't have the libraries it
needs, presumably because it wants /usr/lib32 and I have /usr/lib64.
