As much as I hate to promote Skype, yesterday I tried using these instructions for Centos 5 with the skype 2 beta, and it worked for me.
http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Skype Basically you get the binary rpm from skype, get the rpm key from the alternative Austrian site mentioned in the howto, then "yum localinstall" the rpm and all the necessary dependencies will be pulled down automatically. I didn't need to do anything else.
