Hmm... You're using a different modification than what I meant. Here's what I have in my '/usr/bin/skype' script: LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/share/skype:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH /usr/bin/skype.bin $* If I had to guess, I'd say that the LD_LIBRARY_PATH setting is where 'skype.bin' looks for its config file (which should be at '/usr/share/skype/skype.conf', based on how we both did your installations). So I don't know that changing to my usage will work for you--try it, see what happens. -R -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
