Maybe because you have a 32 Bits System, there shouldn't have to be
a
problem... But I'm running a 64 Bit one
You haven't actually so far stated what the problem is you are having with skype. Only that it doesn't work. What i can say is it works fine here on F13 using qt 4.7 on x86_64. I just installed the standard Fedora rpms provided along with the i686 version of qt and the appropriate i686 pulseaudio libs. I forget exactly which one is needed but i have alsa-plugins-pulseaudio.i686 and pulseaudio-libs.i686 installed currently.

Yep. It worked fine for me until I upgraded to KDE 4.5 my fedora 13 because of the new Qt libraries... I can't install 32 bit Skype's dependencies on my Fedora 13 x86_64 KDE 4.5 because the Qt 32 bit libraries that skype needs have conflicts with the newer ones, and if I downgrade the Qt Libraries all my KDE 4.5 installation gets broken
I've been investigating... is Fedora's problem, not skype... Fedora 13
does
not provide a 32 bit package for the qt libraries in their "1:4.7" version, only a 64 bit one, at least
in my package manager this is what I have, and I also have a 32 bit
version
but it's only of the "1:4.6" release... Hope you take this in count...
New Libraries in both architechtures seem to be present in fedora 14 and RPMFind says in Fedora 15 too.
So, I'm going to try to ignore the personal attack which you sent me on the Ambassadors list, and help you, since I think I know what happened after thinking about it all afternoon...
I assume, since Qt4.7 and KDE4.5 aren't in Fedora's main repositories yet (note that; you're using unofficial repositories provided by community members!), that you're using builds from kde-redhat.sf.net... Correct me if I'm wrong. If I'm not, in that case, the problem is that by default applications and libraries in there arne't multilib'd, and that they aren't kept in the same repository; there are different repositories for 32 bit and 64 bit.
I assume you don't have the kde-redhat 32 bit repo enabled. Looking at /etc/yum.repos.d/kde.repo, the mirrorlist points to, for example http://apt.kde-redhat.org/apt/kde-redhat/fedora/mirrors-testing, which are mirrors like http://mirror.unl.edu/kde- redhat/fedora/$releasever/$basearch/testing ... $basearch is of course expanding to x86_64, leaving all the i686 packages unreachable in the kde- redhat repositories.
So, take one of the mirrors in your mirrorlist, add a new entry to kde.repo for each repo:
[kde-i686] name=kde baseurl=http://mirror.unl.edu/kde-redhat/fedora/$releasever/i686/testing gpgkey=http://apt.kde-redhat.org/apt/kde-redhat/kde-redhat.RPM-GPG-KEYat enabled=1
Note that none of these issues will exist when KDE Plasma Desktop and the KDE Application Suite 4.5 are officially supported by us.
Oh, and that's the "proper" branding... KDE-promo intended the "KDE SC" terminology to be an engineering term (not something for End Users), but it caught on. There are two "products", the KDE Plasma Deskop, Plasma kwin etc, and the KDE Application Suite, which is all the applications which are developed by KDE, the community behind the products.
The KDE SIG is appreciative of all users' testing of KDE prereleases, but there will always be complications involved, bugs, etc, and we appreciate all feedback on the releases.

I've got the solution, thanks!! Now Skype is working and I have the lastest 32 Bit Qt libraries installed in my 64 bit Fedora 13 with KDE 4.5!! :D
