Any ideas please as to how this can be overcome so that I can install and run this very useful utility?

I had a hell of a time getting this to work. I ended up installing the older version of skype (1.3.0.53).
As far as usefulness goes, you may want to look at alternatives such as Ekiga, which are free, cross platform and use open standards. It's far less useful when it has had the video guts ripped out of it (which the GNU/Linux client does not support video).
Ekiga is in CentOS 5 base.
Thanks, Actually Ekiga is already installed in my CentOS 5 system - one question though - can I communicate with skype users via Ekiga?
