That’s a point i don’ t understand really: I thought i had an x86 installation since the processor is an Atom 450 (or so) . . . Thanks anyway for replying.
That is still a 64 bit processor so it all depends on if you installed the 64bit or 32 bit version of OpenSuse. My Computer should tell you what version you have.
Open Yast->Software Management and search for libQtGui there sould be a version with 32 in the name. install that.

or “uname -p” on a command line.

your (OP) installation is probably x86_64, but skype exists only as a
32bit app. for many libraries, 32bit compatibility versions can be
installed on x86_64 systems, so that 32bit apps can run. that isn’t done
by default, and you’ll have to install these compat. libs explicitly,
easiest with yast.

Te 32 named libs don’t exist for a 32 bit installation apperantly you where just missing the library. Smeegol may not provide it by default. Installing from the repo took care of the problem by supplying all the needed libs.
