  Hello, The web site:

http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Skype

  as Akemi suggested was very useful. I did:

1) wget http://www.skype.com/go/getskype-linux-beta-centos
    It download an rmp file: skype-2.0.0.43-centos.i586.rpm

2) yum localinstall skype-2.0.0.43-centos.i586.rpm
    This will install skype with all dependencies

  If you install with "rpm -Uvh skype-2.0.0.43-centos.i586.rpm" , there are 
a lot of dependencies.

  Regards, rachid ayad.
