What/when is the error
Which Ubuntu
etc...

I'm afraid this is not any more informative... Shocked

WHAT/HOW did you try to install eg what is the package full name, where did you get it from, what was the terminal command you gave?
WHAT/WHEN is the error eg what exactly the terminal shows, at which point in the process, after which command?

Ubuntu 8.10/Intrepid is not supported anymore by Canonical so it may be tricky to find packages for download. Try to get an older skype.deb from HERE if you used the latest from Skype and did not work. Just double click on it and hopefully you will not be missing any dependancies that you can not find.
