yes... installing skype on fedora 64 bit is tricky.... there are some tutorials on the net, but i made it a bit different. i downloaded the fedora package, and then i needed to install the following packages as well: yum install glibc-2.13-1.i686 yum install glibc-2.13-1.i686 yum install alsa-lib-1.0.24-1.fc14.i686 yum install libXv-1.0.5-1.fc13.i686 yum install libXScrnSaver-1.2.0-1.fc12.i686 yum install 1:qt-4.7.2-8.fc14.i686 yum install qt-x11-4.7.2-8.fc14.i686 this then did the trick after that i could run skype on the fedora 14 machine.
