(Get the code!)
Hi!
I attach the installation log using "./inst_gl860 -m" and no errors seem to appear (it is installed on top of the old one, without uninstalling the first one).
About Skype you were right, I needed to run it with "LD_PRELOAD=
VLC needed the same command, otherwise the video wouldn't appear. Then, I compared both videos in Windows and in Karmic, and slight differences appeared in both systems (using Skype and VLC). In Windows the light sources (lightbulbs) are treated more nicely (the shape of the objects near the light are more defined), while in Karmic the objects near the light bulb are much brighter, and are not neat. Playing with the Effects in VLC didn't appear to give a better quality of the image (in a first attempt).
Another thing I noticed is a green light that appears on my webcam whenever I use it. In Windows it switches on and off depending whether a program uses the camera or not. However in Karmic it starts switched off (when booting the computer), and when one program calls for it (cheese, VLC or Skype) it then does holds on until the next reboot (it doesn't matter I close the program who used it).
About doing the log test, I will try to do it in the coming days...
