16 Well, I was sure that was going to work, but now I get:
17
18 /usr/libexec/mozilla-launcher: line 460: /opt/firefox/firefox-bin: No
19 such file or directory
20
21 and:
22
23 /usr/bin/skype: line 10: /opt/skype/skype: No such file or directory
24
25 I think there was a totally different path showing up in the error
26 before. I re-emerged mozilla-firefox-bin and skype with no success.
27 Any ideas?
