I can't believe it but I get the same error with wengo: $ wengophone /opt/bin/wengophone: line 10: /opt/wengophone/qtwengophone: No such file or directory /opt/bin/wengophone: line 10: /opt/wengophone/qtwengophone: Success Maybe a hardened profile on a laptop is more trouble than it's worth. skype, wengo, firefox-bin all won't work with this same type of error. vmware won't work either and I bet it's the same problem. - Grant -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
