Which version of freebsd are you using? With all of the chmods that
I've been doing
things began to get a little bunged up. Couldn't even bring Skype up as
root. So I
deinstalled Skype via pkg-cutleaves and reinstalled. In the process I
had to also do a
deinstall/reinstall of linux_base-fc6. So now I'm back to the original
setup. I assume
that you followed the directives of UPDATING 20080318 in order for you
to get Skype
to work.

copytree_share does create the dir first if it doesn't exist. FWIW, I loaded
xfwm and tried to reproduce this, but it works fine as a normal user on my
-current box. I doubt if it would be any different on a 7.x box. I've seen
this problem once or twice before, but both me and Skype are at a loss to
explain why it's happening. I'll chat with the Skype devs later this evening
and see if one of them has any suggestions.

this problem once or twice before, but both me and Skype are at a loss to
explain why it's happening. I'll chat with the Skype devs later this evening
and see if one of them has any suggestions.

Just for the record... I'm also able to start Skype from the command

What happens if you do: /usr/local/share/skype/skype as a normal user?
Same thing: Permission denied.
Wierd, and you're sure that binary is executable by all?
I'm not sure if I really understand makefiles, but it seems to me that
/usr/local/share/skype are created with the following directive in
/usr/ports/net/skype/Makefile:
@cd ${WRKSRC}/${COPYTREE_SHARE} avatars icons sounds lang
${PREFIX}/${SKYPEDIR}/
Maybe the directory should be created first? I.e. change it to the
following: @${INSTALL} -d ${PREFIX}/${SKYPEDIR}
@cd ${WRKSRC}/${COPYTREE_SHARE} avatars icons sounds lang
${PREFIX}/${SKYPEDIR}/
copytree_share does create the dir first if it doesn't exist. FWIW, I
loaded xfwm and tried to reproduce this, but it works fine as a normal
user on my -current box. I doubt if it would be any different on a 7.x

Joakim...
Which version of freebsd are you using? With all of the chmods that I've
been doing
things began to get a little bunged up. Couldn't even bring Skype up as
root. So I
deinstalled Skype via pkg-cutleaves and reinstalled. In the process I had
to also do a
deinstall/reinstall of linux_base-fc6. So now I'm back to the original
setup. I assume
that you followed the directives of UPDATING 20080318 in order for you to
get Skype
to work.
Rem
7.1-RELEASE-p2
will-try [~] sysctl compat.linux.osrelease
compat.linux.osrelease: 2.6.16
linux_base-f8-8_10
linproc mounted
OVERRIDE_LINUX_BASE=f8 in /etc/make.conf
I didn't follow the directives in UPDATING, as I just recently
reinstalled all ports. Since I had to recompile many of them due to
gnome-2.24 anyway, I took the opportunity get a fresh installation.
However, looking at the entry in UPDATING I see that I have followed
the directives.

Re: skype permissions
OK...get this. As stated earlier I did a complete reinstall of Skype. I shut down the system for a while, and when I brought it back up and called Skype from a user's command line the licensing window came up, followed by the sign on window . But when I try to log on it tells me that another instance of Skype may be running. That's as far as it goes. But, of course, if I call Skype from root's command line the program loads perfectly.

No problem for me. Skype is started without any problems.
I'm not sure if I really understand makefiles, but it seems to me that
/usr/local/share/skype are created with the following directive in
/usr/ports/net/skype/Makefile:
@cd ${WRKSRC}/${COPYTREE_SHARE} avatars icons sounds lang

xfwm and tried to reproduce this, but it works fine as a normal user on my

this problem once or twice before, but both me and Skype are at a loss to
explain why it's happening. I'll chat with the Skype devs later this evening
and see if one of them has any suggestions.
I have 7.1-RELEASE-p2 installed.
compat.linux.osrelease: 2.6.16
linprocfs mounted
linux_base-f8-8_10
I changed to root (su -) before I installed skype. root's shell is
/bin/csh. umask is 22. I can\t recall that I should have done anything
creative with the root account.
I just removed skype, checked that /usr/local/share/skype were
removed, and reinstalled skype (this time I actually logged in as root
instead of using 'su -'. I also checked that the umask was 22) with:
make WITH_NVIDIA_GL=yes
make WITH_NVIDIA_GL=yes install
and:
will-try# ls -l /usr/local/share/|grep skype
drwx--6 root wheel 512 Jan 17 04:03 skype
I'm not really sure if I understand the COPY_SHARE routine in bsd.port.mk:
COPYTREE_SHARE= ${SH} -c '(${FIND} -d $$0 $$2 | ${CPIO} -dumpl $$1 /dev/null \
21) \
${CHOWN} -R
${SHAREOWN}:${SHAREGRP} $$1 \
${FIND} -d $$0 $$2 -type d
-exec chmod 755 $$1/{} \; \
${FIND} -d $$0 $$2 -type f
-exec chmod ${SHAREMODE} $$1/{} \;' --
but it seems to me that the 4:th row change the permission on all
directories below /usr/local/share/skype/. However, the permissions
for the directory /usr/local/share/skype are not changed. I also made
a quick test with cpio, to simulate how /usr/local/share/skype are
created:
will-try# ls -lR
total 0
will-try# mkdir subdir
will-try# find subdir | cpio -dumpl rootdir/
0 blocks
will-try# ls -lR
total 4
drwx-- 3 root wheel 512 Jan 17 04:24 rootdir
drwxr-xr-x 2 root wheel 512 Jan 17 04:24 subdir
./rootdir:
total 2
drwxr-xr-x 2 root wheel 512 Jan 17 04:24 subdir
./rootdir/subdir:
total 0
./subdir:
total 0
It seems that the directory created by cpio do indeed get the wrong
permissions. Maybe there should be an explicit change of the
permission in COPYTREE_SHARE ? (chmod 755 $$1)

Yes, when I change /usr/local/share/skype from drwx-- to
drwxr-xr-x I am able to get some response as user. But, as posted
earlier, it only goes so far, ending by telling me that another
instance of skype may be running (which, of course, it isn't).
