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

editing the spec file, and running rpmbuild ...etc.
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.
They changed the login protocol requiring the upgrade to 4.3. 4.2
functions but won't log into the Skype servers (well, it might log
in, but you can't communicate with anyone).
