There’s more to the conversation

Where does it say that? This page:

says it will run on 10.5.8 and above.

The latest Skype version does say on the download page, that it should be compatible with OS X 10.6.8

But on trying to install Skype message says I need OS X 10.9 minimum, so the download page is incorrect.

Rather than upgrading to Mavericks or Yosemite, I'm going to look for an older version of Skype for OS X 10.6.8

Did you find a version that works? I have this problem too and none of the old versions that I have installed will open. Driving me crazy.

it will download immediately from the site that Roger gave you.

EDIT: THIS IS THE WRONG ONE, HERE IS THE CORRECT VERSION (V6):

Thanks. I tried the appropriate link, but still no luck. I have a mac version 10.6 so I tried the appropriate download (10.6 - 10.8). The first part of the error message I get is:
