Hello All,

anyone tried to get Skypopen to work in Debian? I am not really sure what the real issue is as I get multiple errors when trying to start but the biggest one I guess is the one claiming that the skype binary cannot be executed. 

Will provide further info as requested as I really don't know what the issue really is. Does the Skype client need a real sound card/driver present? I doubt it. Does it really need a real screen attached to it? I doubt it since I see some magic being done with the Xserver to create fake displays and what not.

Anyway, here's what I get when I try to start the start_skype_clients.sh

ERROR: Module snd_pcm_oss does not exist in /proc/modules
ERROR: Module snd_mixer_oss does not exist in /proc/modules
ERROR: Module snd_seq_oss does not exist in /proc/modules

bash: /opt/freeswitch/skypopen/clientsymlnk/skype101: cannot execute binary file

Any ideas? Giovanni? :)

Thanks in advance


Ok this "mystery" is solved as I only just realised that the package being downloaded is pre-compiled binary and not source that was further being compiled. The skypopen library was but not the actual Skype binary. So there you go!

Now, is this a stupid question or can I get a hold of the actual source of the Skype client so I can try and compile this on my platform?

Thanks so much
