First I've followed instructions from the above two websites and have run the below commands.

  1. su
  2. yum install alsa-lib.i686 fontconfig.i686 freetype.i686 glib2.i686 libSM.i686 libXScrnSaver.i686 libXi.i686 libXrandr.i686 libXrender.i686 libXv.i686 libstdc++.i686 pulseaudio-libs.i686 qt.i686 qt-x11.i686 qtwebkit.i686 zlib.i686

Next I found another website https://ask.fedoraproject.org/en/question/8738/how-to-install-skype/ and did the below steps:

  1. Download the skype package from its official website, downloads section. Choose Fedora as your distribution. Fedora 16 32 bit is fine for Fedora 18 installs or later.
  2. Double-click on the downloaded package.
  3. The system will ask if you'd like to install the package. Confirm.
 I could find skype icon in the Activities menu bar and is running well.
