OK, I have the rpm pf skype which was built for fc18:

To make a 64-bit build of the application, you would need to actually
compile the sources with a compiler that targets the 64-bit
instruction set. This requires access to application source code.
Source code to the Skype client is not available.
My impression is that the skype "x86_64" rpm is still the same 32-bit
application that ships in their 32-bit package.
Fortunately, an x86-64 Fedora installation can easily run also 32-bit
applications.

Yes I know, but I just found out how to do a rebuild of the binary
via
# rpmrebuild autogenerated specfile
but it still requires 32 bit libs.
I wonder if skype 4.2 still works. I think I was forced to upgrade to
4.3 to get it working again.
I used the 'lpf' tool ((Local Package Factory) to install skype...
(just google 'lpf skype')

I did indeed also install the 4.2 from the skype download page some time
ago, and I still have it (rpm file) on my system. But it does not seem
to be available
from MS.
