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?
Hmm... You're using a different modification than what I meant.
Here's what I have in my '/usr/bin/skype' script:

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/share/skype:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH /usr/bin/skype.bin $*

If I had to guess, I'd say that the LD_LIBRARY_PATH setting is where
'skype.bin' looks for its config file (which should be at
'/usr/share/skype/skype.conf', based on how we both did your
installations).  So I don't know that changing to my usage will work
for you--try it, see what happens.
