BTW, is linux_base-f7 a requirement too ? Because on FreeBSD 6.2 fc4 is the default now and skype 1.4.X (from the port, of course) doesn't work for me, either with the default or with 2.6 value of compat.linux.osrelease. With 2.4.2 I get the same problem as Jan: "Call Failed. Problem with Audio Playback" for any attempt to call. With 2.6 skype simply didn't start with a message like "Can not setup LDT for thread something...". BTW, there is a different question that I have and maybe another part to my situation. My system is actually FreeBSD 6.2-RELEASE-p6 amd64, emphasis on amd64. So now you see what can add to my skype problems. And here's the question: our linuxolator emulates i386 Linux even on amd64, is there any reason that skype port has only i386 in the allowed archs ? The same question goes for any ports it depends on and that have the same restriction (if any). WITH_NVIDIA_GL is of course not applicable to amd64, bit otherwise, in my understanding, everything should. Am I missing something important ? -- Andriy Gapon
