Re: Skype wont"t open

Hi,

just wanted to report that I opened the dynamic version of Skype in knoppix
3.7 by going into hard drive and directory where that skype is stored, then
clicking on skype and it opened flowlessly.

That means to me that the problem is really in slackware.

Should one report it to them and where?

Regards

I would advise you to use the Skype =A8echo123=A8 test service to see i=

properly first before going any further.

I doubt its a slackware problem but an incompatablity problem with lib=20
versions used by slackware, i would like to hunt down problems like thi=
s but=20
i just dont have the time thesedays, i have to work for a living again =
-;)=20

skype is reported to work under a default slackware-10 distro on the sk=
ype=20
site and it does say what you need to do to get it going under slackwar=
e, if=20
you reasd the mail on the skype site you will see that many people say =
that=20
slackware is the most choosy when it comes to getting skype going.
Just why that is lord knows.
