How to fix Skype startup permanently?

[ELMIT]

I have Ubuntu 11.10 on an AMD/64 system.

I found the hint how to start Skype, but needs to be started from the command line:

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/ /usr/bin/skype

How can I fix that permanently?

Any ideas?

make a short script with this command and make it executable. then make a launcher for it in your unity bar or desktop...

someone will drop in and tell you how.

but it's really simple you create a file something like this:



#!/bin/bash
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/ /usr/bin/skype


and then you make that file executable with rightclicking on it.


edit: ah here are the instructions. just replace the command with your command you use:
