It tells me, that libgstreamer0.10-dev and pkg-config already are the newest versions. Do I have to install any 32bit libaries on my 64bit machine? nope…that doesn’t help.

Re-reading my questions I realise I've left out key bits. I did extract both files. It was when I typed "cd gspcav1-20071224" that things unravelled. I got an error 'no such file or directory'. Therefore I assumed I had started out in the wrong (Desktop) directory! So (IOW) what now? FrankBe44 Me again. Re-reading my questions I realise I’ve left out key bits. I did extract both files.

I am somewhat of a beginner in this type of Terminal work. You lost me in the 5th paragraph. IOW the zipped tar files gspcav etc were downloaded to my Desktop. Do I stay in this directory when I extract the files or move the *.gz files to another directory? If so to which directory? (And to save me a lot of reading - how to move the files? ) Thanks again.

Also I find that if the autoexp=0 is set, if your room is very light it can really be far too bright in skype. Maybe try playing around with that setting?
