This point has already been answered on this mailing list (and elsewhere). A bit of search in the archives and elsewhere would quickly bring you this: http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Skype

I'm very familiar with that document. :-) And many users, including myself, couldn't get Skype 4.1 to work on CentOS 64 bits using those instructions.

If Skype 4.1 did work on your 64-bit system, I'm very interested in knowing the details; you can contact me directly if you wish.

I have posted it months ago here:

http://community.skype.com/t5/Linux/Skype-for-Redhat-Enterprise-6/td-p/12106...

Actually, I also posted to the c6 fora back then and suggested to document it more precisely in the wiki.

That posting was immediately closed without further ado. Someone even followed me to the skype fora, only to state that I'm just talking bullshit and that http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Skype has all you need to know.

And of course yes: Skype-4.1 is running nicely here on x86_64 for all these months. And it doesn't require anything special -- and certainly not breaking your installation with some weird Qt-4.7.
