This is the instruction i used to install skype Fedora 16. It works for me. I read the instructions here:
http://blog.linux4us.org/2011/11/13/installing-skype-on-fedora-16-64bit/
It works for me but I encountered just one issue. My yum install was not successful. Something to do with the qt package. So the workaround to this is to yum install all except qt.i686. qt-x11.i686 will install it as dependency.
For reference, here’s the step:
- Download the RPM for Fedora on Skype website(http://www.skype.com/intl/en-us/get-skype/on-your-computer/linux/). As mention only have 32 bit version.
- yum install <package names below>:
- libXv.i686
- libXScrnSaver.i686
qt.i686(As mention, may not be necessary bcos qt-x11.i686 will install it as dependency)- qt-x11.i686
- pulseaudio-libs.i686
- pulseaudio-libs-glib2.i686
- alsa-plugins-pulseaudio.i686
- Install the Skype RPM.
# rpm -ihv skype-4.0.0.8-fedora.i586.rpm
It works for me. Not sure for you though. If it doesn’t, google for other instruction.
