Got skype 4.1 to work again here, just unpacked the binary archive over the existing files, don't know what went broken or how.. FYI, I've made a list of the packages showing from a `ldd skype`, this may indicate what you need to install, at least (here: CentOS6.3 up-to-date, epel repo enabled): alsa-lib-1.0.22-3.el6.i686 dbus-libs-1.2.24-7.el6_3.i686 expat-2.0.1-11.el6_2.i686 flac-1.2.1-6.1.el6.i686 fontconfig-2.8.0-3.el6.i686 freetype-2.3.11-14.el6_3.1.i686 glib2-2.22.5-7.el6.i686 glibc-2.12-1.80.el6_3.7.i686 keyutils-libs-1.4-4.el6.i686 krb5-libs-1.9-33.el6_3.3.i686 libasyncns-0.8-1.1.el6.i686 libcom_err-1.41.12-12.el6.i686 libgcc-4.4.6-4.el6.i686 libICE-1.0.6-1.el6.i686 libogg-1.1.4-2.1.el6.i686 libpng-1.2.49-1.el6_2.i686 libselinux-2.0.94-5.3.el6.i686 libSM-1.1.0-7.1.el6.i686 libsndfile-1.0.20-5.el6.i686 libstdc++-4.4.6-4.el6.i686 libuuid-2.17.2-12.7.el6_3.i686 libvorbis-1.2.3-4.el6_2.1.i686 libX11-1.3-2.el6.i686 libXau-1.0.5-1.el6.i686 libxcb-1.5-1.el6.i686 libXcursor-1.1.10-2.el6.i686 libXext-1.1-3.el6.i686 libXfixes-4.0.4-1.el6.i686 libXi-1.3-3.el6.i686 libXinerama-1.1-1.el6.i686 libXrandr-1.3.0-4.el6.i686 libXrender-0.9.5-1.el6.i686 libXScrnSaver-1.2.0-1.el6.i686 libXtst-1.0.99.2-3.el6.i686 libXv-1.0.5-1.el6.i686 openssl-1.0.0-25.el6_3.1.i686 pulseaudio-libs-0.9.21-14.el6_3.i686 pulseaudio-libs-glib2-0.9.21-14.el6_3.i686 sqlite-3.6.20-1.el6.i686 tcp_wrappers-libs-7.6-57.el6.i686 zlib-1.2.3-27.el6.i686 Of course there may have indirect dependencies, but yum would tell you that in time. Important: I also have a full Qt 4.7 32-bit in /usr/lib/qt47, on which my installed skype version depends on: libphonon.so.4 libQtCore.so.4 libQtDBus.so.4 libQtGui.so.4 libQtNetwork.so.4 libQtWebKit.so.4 libQtXml.so.4 I was not sure if I got this specific Qt version installed for GuitarPro6 (commercial) or skype, but my LD_LIBRARY_PATH points to that dir and it can't using the Qt 4.6 or 4.8 versions installed locally (install from one of those repositories: base, epel, rpmforge, puias, atrpms). For this Qt47, I downloaded the following RPMs: phonon-backend-gstreamer-4.7.2-1_18.el6.i686.rpm qt47-4.7.2-1_18.el6.i686.rpm qt47-config-4.7.2-1_18.el6.i686.rpm qt47-webkit-4.7.2-1_18.el6.i686.rpm qt47-x11-4.7.2-1_18.el6.i686.rpm And installed *manually* their contents to /usr/lib/qt47. This also requires tweaking a bit in /usr/lib/qt47/bin and /usr/bin (it's safe towards system Qt versions, it's just about fixing the missing q* qt47 apps and making correct symlinks isolated in /usr/lib/qt47/bin): See my /usr/lib/qt47/bin contents: qdbus -> ../../../bin/qdbus-qt47 qdbusviewer -> ../../../bin/qdbusviewer-qt47 qmlviewer -> ../../../bin/qmlviewer-qt47 qtconfig -> ../../../bin/qtconfig-qt47 qtconfig-qt47 -> ../../../bin/qtconfig-qt47 Let me know if you succeed or still miss something!
