Installing Skype on 64-bit Fedora 14

I installed the skype RPM on my 64-bit Fedora 14 machine and ran into
all kinds of problems with missing libs like:

skype: error while loading shared libraries: libasound.so.2: cannot open
shared object file: No such file or directory

skype: error while loading shared libraries: libXv.so.1: cannot open
shared object file: No such file or directory

skype: error while loading shared libraries: libXss.so.1: cannot open
shared object file: No such file or directory

skype: error while loading shared libraries: libQtDBus.so.4: cannot open
shared object file: No such file or directory

skype: error while loading shared libraries: libQtGui.so.4: cannot open
shared object file: No such file or directory

The short answer for my system is:

yum install glibc.i686 alsa-lib.i686 libXv.i686 libXScrnSaver.i686
qt.i686 qt-x11.i686

yum install --nogpgcheck skype-2.1.0.81-fc10.i586.rpm

Done!

Hoping this is helpful...
