Skype only available for 32bit version of Fedora while most of the folks already get into wagon of 64bit OS, here is short howto installing the skype on 64bit Fedora. The hack is to install 32bit version of the following packages on 64bit Fedora.
yum install glibc.i686 alsa-lib.i686 libXv.i686 libXScrnSaver.i686 qt.i686 qt-x11.i686
Download Skype Fedora 13+ package from Skype official site http://www.skype.com/intl/en-us/get-skype/on-your-computer/linux/
And then install it.
yum install --nogpgcheck skype-2.1.0.81-fc10.i586.rpm

I tried to do what you suggest, but the package is not available:
ReplyDelete# yum install --nogpgcheck skype-2.1.0.81-fc10.i586.rpm
Loaded plugins: langpacks, presto, refresh-packagekit
Setting up Install Process
No package skype-2.1.0.81-fc10.i586.rpm available
Skype package is not available in Fedora repository, you have to download it from http://www.skype.com/intl/en-us/get-skype/on-your-computer/linux/ and then install it using yum or rpm.
ReplyDeletePost has been updated for the downloading Skype package for Feddora.
ReplyDeleteThanks, now it works
