Why do you run it from /opt/skype? For me, it is installed in /usr/bin/skype

How did you install it? Normal emerge?

It's in the same place... I have a feeling I forgot a kernel option.

Have you ever installed skype directly, without portage? Maybe there's some cruft left. Try to unmerge skype, look for files or dirs with skype in their name, remove them and emerge skype again. I have never had problems with skype on my stable amd64 system.

I have the same issue with adobe acrobat reader.

/opt/bin/acroread: line 22: /opt/Adobe/Reader9/Reader/intellinux/bin/acroread: No such file or directory
/opt/bin/acroread: line 22: /opt/Adobe/Reader9/Reader/intellinux/bin/acroread: Success


20:27:20^root@ninapie:/usr/portage/net-im/skype > emerge -pv skype

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Calculating dependencies... done!

!!! All ebuilds that could satisfy "net-im/skype" have been masked.
!!! One of the following masked packages is required to complete your request:
- net-im/skype-2.1.0.81 (masked by: skype-eula license(s))
A copy of the 'skype-eula' license is located at '/usr/portage/licenses/skype-eula'.



For more information, see the MASKED PACKAGES section in the emerge
man page or refer to the Gentoo Handbook.


* IMPORTANT: 4 news items need reading for repository 'gentoo'.
* Use eselect news to read news items.

You need to put an entry in your /etc/portage/package.license to accept the skype license

the entry should be like this :

net-im/skype skype-eula

I am using skype on a amd64 platform with no problem

Or in /etc/make.conf

ACCEPT_LICENSE="*"

if you do not care about licenses at all

Trying to get it working on *my* amd64.... :)

I am using xfce, sound card is one of those onboard Intel HDA thing.

The camera is a Logitech UVC ( UVC = usb video class ) camera, there is a web site somewhere that list which Logitech camera is UVC, which are supported by kernel USB stack directly. Although the default genkernel does not have the UVC module compile in.

What problem are you getting ?

Perhaps you should start with describing your problem, preferably in a separate thread. Skype works fine on amd64 for people with multitude of different configurations.

Had lots of problems in the past with the video (on KDE 3.5.10) then upgraded to 4.x series and discovered the Sound Nightmare with the bloody HDA-Intel onboard chips (basically, you get sound from one app at a time ...)

Tried to get Skype going again today and after some fiddling managed to get sound and video working ... though sound does not work while Kmail is running.

Since you're running xfce I guess you don't have the same issues with the sound .

Thanks for offering anyway ;-)

cheers, Ian

You need to search hard nowdays for consumer sound card with hardware mixing. Its all done in software now. That's what dmix in alsa, and pulseaudio on desktop level are for.

How to do it specifically? I still have the same problem.


Code:
skype
bash: /opt/bin/skype: No such file or directory


and

Code:
$ whereis skype
skype: /usr/share/skype /opt/bin/skype


Code:

 emerge -av skype
