error: Failed dependencies:Don't worry you are not alone. And google may not seem to help much.
libQtCore.so.1 is needed by skype-2.0.0.72-fc5.i586
libQtDBus.so.1 is needed by skype-2.0.0.72-fc5.i586
...
libXss.so.1 is needed by skype-2.0.0.72-fc5.i586
Well here is a solution I used ... execute the following as root:
# yum install qt-x11.i386And then skype should be installed. If you use gnome, there will be an icon at f applications->Internet->skype.
# yum install libXScrnSaver.i386
# yum install libXv.i386
# rpm -ivh skype-2.0.0.72-fc5.i586.rpm
One reason why folks run into this issue is because they are running a 64 bit processor and installing skype which was compiled to be run on a 32 bit machine. So the files in the skype-2.0.0.72-fc5.i586.rpm are for a 32 bit operating system. The two yum commands above simply install the corresponding 32 bit libraries needed by skype to run on your 64 bit machine.
Hope that helps.

Hellow Vernon!
Thanks man. The number of errors dropped from a half dozen to just one left:
libXv.so.1 is needed by skype-2.0.0.72-fc5.i586
Cheers.... ThreaderSlash - gmail.com
# rpm -qf /usr/lib/libXv.so.1
libXv-1.0.3-5.fc9.i386
So that means you may just need to install libXv-1.0.3-5.fc9.i386
Hope that helps.
Thanks worked like charm!
Thanks a lot. This was very useful
FEDORA 13 - 64 bit:
Only the STATIC version can be installed.
open two windows, run skype in one, and the second window needs to run "yum whatitprovides libwhatever.so.X"
just install the library displayed as output of yum. repeat a dozen times, and done.
So easy! Thanks skype for having a such archaic 32-bit application.
ANONYMOUS!
You are the man, you solved my issue!
