Skype is only available in a 32-bit version, so if you have a 64-bit Linux system, you will have to do some extra work.
The first step is to install the 32-bit libraries Skype needs to work:
Become SuperUser/Administrator:
$ su - root
OR if you are set up with sudo:
$ sudo su - root
Your command prompt should now have a # in it instead of a $, indicating you are now the root super user.
[root@localhost ~]#
Update the Qt libraries to the latest version:
[root@localhost ~]#yum update qt
Install 32-bit version of Qt:
[root@fusion16 ~]#yum install qt.i686
Install 32-bit version of Qt for X Windows:
[root@fusion16 ~]#yum install qt-x11.i686
