If you're not stuck on CentOS 5...

It would be nice, as that's what we're still using in production.

That article seems unnecessarily complicated, at least as far as CentOS
6 and 7 are concerned. Skype is in the nux-dextop repository (which
repository is mentioned in the article), so a simple 'yum install skype'
will do the trick.

Thanks. I missed that - hadn't heard of nux-dextop - but I did find a specfile. Skype works, but not sending video. I see that the nux RPM installs libv4l.i686 which I was missing, but that didn't help. I've installed xawtv.i686 and removed xawtv.x86_64 so I can see that 32-bit video is working, but still not in Skype. It shows the graphic card, but doesn't actually send. If I plug in my infrared camera on USB, that works, but at TRIUMF I want to use the installed Sony PTZ cameras, not some cheap USB thing.
