Hi folks,
Okay, I'm having some real problems with Skype and
Pidgin. I followed the instructions on the work around page.
After having installed Skype, I copied the
libskype.so shared library to /usr/lib/purple-2 but Skype did not appear in the
list of availible accounts in Pidgin. I found I had to install the
skype4pidgin.deb package and then Skype appeared in the list along with
something called Skype D Bus.
I removed and re-installed Pidgin to the latest
version which i think is 2.5.3, but I am still getting the problem
where Pidgin crashes when I try to navigate the table of
contacts.
What am I doing wrong?
Any help would be appreciated pleased. Not being
able to use Skype would be a major road block in my moving over to Linux.
PS - My dad did the sighted bit of clicking the
button
Thank you for any and all help
James
