You may want to check out this CentOS mailing list thread: http://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos/2012-January/122298.html Looks like there are a few possible solutions. One of them is to use the static version referenced in http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Skype . Avoiding 2.2.x seems to be a better option (?) at this moment. Akemi
