   Long time i was running and didnt find solution with BL Distro.
   http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/showthread.php?s=9a954664ad9af6fd4370e6a867dc073b&p=4534377#post4534377

   End of the case i decided check other distros instead of wasting time. So I found SliTAZ and its working fast enough. So i decided to check skype dynamic (with dbus) but i cant check it. When i double click it, it doesnt appear, when im trying in terminal its give error. skype not found. but im sure in that folder. i can see it with ls command.

   what should i do? is skype dynamic (with dbus) working in slitaz?

   Thanks

   echo $PATH shows the absolute path of the locations where the shell looks for executables.
   tux@slitaz:~$ echo $PATH
   /usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin
   If skype the executable was in one of those locations the command skype would work.
   /home/tux/skype is not in the path so if you type skype the shell can't find executable.
   When an executable is not in the path you precede the command with
   sh path.to.executable
   Your in the same location as executable skype so try: sh skype

   Thank you so much for information.
   I am already installing depends packages now. I will inform about result.

   If i will success this one (Skype (with DBUS) + Skype Call Recorder), i will say bye bye to Xubuntu. And will be using slitaz more than 150 PC.

   Btw im not expert about linux. At least was expecting message different instead of "Not Found" :)

   Unless it's skype executable is installed to /usr/bin, /bin or /home/tux/bin it won't run when you just type skype. You can normally start a program or properly written script by typing ./ before the name. So you could have used ./skype to start it locally. For scripts, this may depend on having the right scripting languages installed, although most sh scripts or executables should start without problems if you have the package requirements installed.

   I would recommend moving or extracting the skype folder in /opt, then making a symlink to /usr/bin

   # ln -s /opt/skype/skype /usr/bin

   @Trixar_za
   Slitaz default shell is ash:
   ./ will not work on a script that starts with #!/bin/bash
   So I don't suggest it.

   IMO sh is better than ./
   sh works with path.to.script
   ./ requires the user to be in the same directory as the script

   @mojo Isn't the standard to use #!/bin/sh ? It should work if it follows shell scripting standards.

   As for ./ and paths try ./home/user/application/appname ;)
