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?

Also, have you tried Skype for MID, yet? I think the version is 3.0.0.93,
but I'm not sure whether that's in the same version # scheme as regular
Skype. It's a modifed client intended for Linux MIDs (Mobile Internet
Devices).

I am running it now, on Fedora 11, and it works pretty well with my Logitech
QuickCam 9000 USB. It seems to like PulseAudio, after I uncommented and
changed some settings.
* high-priority = yes
* nice-level = 3
* default-fragments = 8
* default-fragment-size-msec = 5
You may not need all of those, I'm not 100% sure which ones solved my
problems. (Basically, I was getting sound so choppy that it sounded like
short, sharp bursts of static--totally unusable.) After changing settings,
do a `killall pulseaudio`, and then restart your client apps (pulseaudio
should be automatically restarted when a client requests it).
I haven't gotten around to making an F11 RPM spec file, yet, but the manual
installation is dead simple:
* Untar to '/usr/share/skype/',
* copy the 'skype' script 'skype.bin' binary executables to '/usr/bin', and
* edit the 'skype' script so that it points to the correct binary path
There are a few missing features in MID, but I haven't missed them.
