Just for the record... I'm also able to start Skype from the command prompt.
I'm not sure if I really understand makefiles, but it seems to me that
/usr/local/share/skype are created with the following directive in
/usr/ports/net/skype/Makefile:
@cd ${WRKSRC}/${COPYTREE_SHARE} avatars icons sounds lang
${PREFIX}/${SKYPEDIR}/
Maybe the directory should be created first? I.e. change it to the following:
@${INSTALL} -d ${PREFIX}/${SKYPEDIR}
@cd ${WRKSRC}/${COPYTREE_SHARE} avatars icons sounds lang
${PREFIX}/${SKYPEDIR}/

Joakim...
Which version of freebsd are you using? With all of the chmods that I've
been doing
things began to get a little bunged up. Couldn't even bring Skype up as
root. So I
deinstalled Skype via pkg-cutleaves and reinstalled. In the process I had
to also do a
deinstall/reinstall of linux_base-fc6. So now I'm back to the original
setup. I assume
that you followed the directives of UPDATING 20080318 in order for you to
get Skype
to work.
Rem
7.1-RELEASE-p2
will-try [~] sysctl compat.linux.osrelease
compat.linux.osrelease: 2.6.16
linux_base-f8-8_10
linproc mounted
OVERRIDE_LINUX_BASE=f8 in /etc/make.conf
I didn't follow the directives in UPDATING, as I just recently
reinstalled all ports. Since I had to recompile many of them due to
gnome-2.24 anyway, I took the opportunity get a fresh installation.
However, looking at the entry in UPDATING I see that I have followed
the directives.

What happens if you do: /usr/local/share/skype/skype as a normal user?
No problem for me. Skype is started without any problems.
I'm not sure if I really understand makefiles, but it seems to me that
/usr/local/share/skype are created with the following directive in
/usr/ports/net/skype/Makefile:
@cd ${WRKSRC}/${COPYTREE_SHARE} avatars icons sounds lang
${PREFIX}/${SKYPEDIR}/
Maybe the directory should be created first? I.e. change it to the
following: @${INSTALL} -d ${PREFIX}/${SKYPEDIR}
@cd ${WRKSRC}/${COPYTREE_SHARE} avatars icons sounds lang
${PREFIX}/${SKYPEDIR}/
copytree_share does create the dir first if it doesn't exist. FWIW, I loaded
xfwm and tried to reproduce this, but it works fine as a normal user on my
-current box. I doubt if it would be any different on a 7.x box. I've seen
this problem once or twice before, but both me and Skype are at a loss to
explain why it's happening. I'll chat with the Skype devs later this evening
and see if one of them has any suggestions.
I have 7.1-RELEASE-p2 installed.
compat.linux.osrelease: 2.6.16
linprocfs mounted
linux_base-f8-8_10
I changed to root (su -) before I installed skype. root's shell is
/bin/csh. umask is 22. I can\t recall that I should have done anything
creative with the root account.
I just removed skype, checked that /usr/local/share/skype were
removed, and reinstalled skype (this time I actually logged in as root
instead of using 'su -'. I also checked that the umask was 22) with:
make WITH_NVIDIA_GL=yes
make WITH_NVIDIA_GL=yes install
and:
will-try# ls -l /usr/local/share/|grep skype
drwx--6 root wheel 512 Jan 17 04:03 skype
I'm not really sure if I understand the COPY_SHARE routine in bsd.port.mk:
COPYTREE_SHARE= ${SH} -c '(${FIND} -d $$0 $$2 | ${CPIO} -dumpl $$1 /dev/null \
21) \
${CHOWN} -R
${SHAREOWN}:${SHAREGRP} $$1 \
${FIND} -d $$0 $$2 -type d
-exec chmod 755 $$1/{} \; \
${FIND} -d $$0 $$2 -type f
-exec chmod ${SHAREMODE} $$1/{} \;' --
but it seems to me that the 4:th row change the permission on all
directories below /usr/local/share/skype/. However, the permissions
for the directory /usr/local/share/skype are not changed. I also made
a quick test with cpio, to simulate how /usr/local/share/skype are
created:
will-try# ls -lR
total 0
will-try# mkdir subdir
will-try# find subdir | cpio -dumpl rootdir/
0 blocks
will-try# ls -lR
total 4
drwx-- 3 root wheel 512 Jan 17 04:24 rootdir
drwxr-xr-x 2 root wheel 512 Jan 17 04:24 subdir
./rootdir:
total 2
drwxr-xr-x 2 root wheel 512 Jan 17 04:24 subdir
./rootdir/subdir:
total 0
./subdir:
total 0
It seems that the directory created by cpio do indeed get the wrong
permissions. Maybe there should be an explicit change of the
permission in COPYTREE_SHARE ? (chmod 755 $$1)

Sorry for the line wrappings. I'll give it another try...
