Just a wild guess -- you do not have /opt on other partition with noexec flag? No, just sda1, sda2, and sda3. BTW, I thought wengo was OSS and you could compile it, so it should rest somewhere else (firefox can be compiled for sure, so if you just take the time to do it, it could run). I can compile and run firefox just fine but then I can't use flash. This whole problem is apparently because I didn't select a multilib profile. That's what I'm being told anyway. - Grant -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
[gentoo-user] Hardened skype gcc-4*
According to this: http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=182554 skype is p.masked on hardened profiles waiting for gcc-4*. I really need skype working and I wonder if I should unmask gcc-4*, emerge it, and try to emerge skype. Would I need to follow the Gentoo GCC Upgrade guide to do this if I only want skype compiled with gcc-4*? Would I just be creating a mess doing this? - Grant -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

I guess it makes no sense for skype to need the GCC, since you do not (can not) compile skype, it is close-sourced. You could download skype from the pages and just unpack it and hope it will work. BTW: IMO skype should not be allowed near a computer that needs to be hardened -- personally, I do not trust it a bit (and I know a little about the quality how it is written, and it talks by network). -- I left the ssh key under the doormat Michal 'vorner' Vaner pgp54lE7RpNPF.pgp Description: PGP signature

If you need it user-friendly, then maybe wengo, or ekiga. AFAIK both work over the SIP protocol, so you can replace the client with whatever else comes to your path and speaks it. And you may set up your own server too, if it comes to it. (Sorry, I have not much experience with it, I just had something to do with skype and was able to crash every version in multiple different ways, so I just do not recommend it at all). -- All flame and insults will go to /dev/null (if they fit) Michal 'vorner' Vaner pgpi6fuJkjHGD.pgp Description: PGP signature
