Anyone using Skype on FC11 ?

[jack craig]

i guess i muffed this one?

1. i removed the skype.fc10
2. i extracted the tarball to /usr/share/skype  (note that i moved 
skype-3.0.0.93/* to /usr/share/skype/..)
3. i coped the skype script to /usr/bin and updated it to be, ...

*#!/bin/sh
# Configure this with paths that suit you.  The default should work if 
you run ./skype from the current directory.
#
# Example:
# LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/share/skype/Qt4.4:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH ./skype.bin
#
cd /usr/share/skype; LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/share/skype:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH 
./skype.bin $**

4. i also copied /usr/share/skype/skype.bin to /usr/bin/.

But! after launch, i put in my passwd and it comes back with, 'unable to 
access skype data files'.

does my error jump out at you?

tia, jackc...
