Installing Skype on Fedora 7

Installing Skype on Fedora 7
Instating Skype on Fedora is easy. The dependencies are only qt-4.4To install Skype using yum,

I have created a file called “skype.repo” in “/etc/yum.repos.d/” directory with the following content.

[skype] name=Skype Repository baseurl=http://download.skype.com/linux/repos/fedora/updates/i586/ gpgkey=http://www.skype.com/products/skype/linux/rpm-public-key.asc

Then, I have used the command “yum install skype” to download & install Skype and its dependencies (qt4 & qt4-x11).

Note: It may fail to install Skype with the error “GPG key parsing failed: No key found in given key data”.
If it is so, download the Skype rpm file from http://www.skype.com/download/skype/linux/choose/
Then install using “rpm –i skype-2.2.0xxxxxxxx.rpm”
