[solved] local execution of 'bin32-skype'

i have an odd problem..
on my current system.. i dont have access to /opt or /etc
so i do this:
mkdir skype64
pacman --root-dir=skype64 -S lib32* bin32-skype*
everything installs there fine
the problem exists when i run "LD_LIBRARY_PATH=skype64/opt/lib32:skype64/opt/lib32/lib:skype64/opt/lib32/usr/lib skype64/usr/bin/skype"
substituting the relative paths with full paths of course.
i still get "no such file or directory"

any ideas? clues? hints? tips?

Your still missing some of Skype's 32 bit support libraries. Until you've seen this a few times, it's one of the most allusive things to track since you can clearly see the binary, but the machine can't.

Re: [solved] local execution of 'bin32-skype'

figured it out.
i wasnt missing any libs.

im hacking at the bundle system for chakra linux.

the solution was:

ln -s ./opt/lib32/lib/ld-linux.so.2 ./lib/ld-linux-x86-32.so2

and a bash script 'skype_launcher.sh' containing:

#!/bin/bash
./opt/lib32/lib/ld-linux.so.2 --library-path ./opt/lib32/lib:./opt/lib32/usr/lib ./usr/bin/skype
