FWIW, I had had Skype running fine on 6.0-RELEASE -- then it stopped workin= g for some unknown reason. Symptoms were that the Skype process would star= t, fire up some child processes, but never bring up any windows. I upgraded to 6.1-RELEASE, did a portupgrade, and still had the same proble= m with Skype. After reading that other people still were able to run Skype= , I decided to start all over with it: deinstalled net/skype, deinstalled t= he emulators/linux_base-suse-9.3 that I'd been using, and 'rm -rf /compat/l= inux/*'. Then, I just: cd /usr/ports/net/skype make install (that ended up installing linux_base-8) Although the build/install went fine, Skype wouldn't start due to missing l= ibraries. So I copied them over from a Linux partition (happens to be Gent= oo): libGL.so.1 libXmu.so.6 libXrandr.so.2 libXcursor.so.1 libXft.so.2 libSM.so.6 libICE.so.6 libXext.so.6 libX11.so.6 libXxf86vm.so.1 libXt.so.6 libXrender.so.1 libexpat.so.0 And now Skype runs fine again for me.
