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 Fogelberg
