I have OpenBSD 4.0 on a HP laptop and I need to install Skype because is for the comunication in my job and I have the freedom for install my lovely OpenBSD. This what I have done: 1. I installed the redhat_base-8.0p8.tgz for the emulation. 2. Download the skype-0_90_0_1.rpm and installed it with the /emul/linux/bin/rpm, all seemed good. 3. If I try to run it, I just see a error message looking for the lib file libXss.so.1. If someone has installed the skype could help me please ???.
Skype is a buggy piece of sh*t. If you have to use it, then wrap it in a solid systrace policy if that's possible at all. I don't know about systrace and Linux emulation on OpenBSD.
I wouldn't use the rpm, I'd instead download the statically linked file that's available on the Skype site:
http://www.skype.org/go/getskype-linux-static That should solve all library issues. kind regards, Tobias W.
