Have you tried installing the rpm from here http://www.skype.com/download/skype/linux/choose/

Id still say go with easyLife because an rpm can cause the headache of dependancies.. or you can download the rpm and use the local install feature from yum to help with the deps..

I just upgraded my Fedora 8 System to Fedora 9. As Skype was already
installed on Fedora 8 it just started working. The Graphics seems to
work better although I am still unable to use my Logitech Orbit AF
Microphone. I have to use my Plantronics Headset to talk, which is
very annoying.

You can see if your webcam supported by uvcvideo driver.
uvcvideo web site
To download the latest uvcvideo driver.
svn checkout svn://svn.berlios.de/linux-uvc/linux-uvc/trunk
make & make install
（Must have kernel header and source. you should use "yum update" command to upgrade your system and software)
In my fedora 8 system, my Logitech Quickcam Communicate Deluxe works well.
Actually, Installing Skype on Fedora 8,9 is very easy.
First, you must download skype for linux from skype website. It's is .rpm file.
Second, use yum command to install or upgrade qt4-x11 .
yum install qt4-x11
use rpm command to install skype
rpm -ivh skype-xxxx.rpm
done!

Ankur, use yum. sudo yum localinstall --nogpgcheck <skype>.rpm

SHOULD resolve the deps for you. On the other hand, I've done that and can't get the audio to work. I'm not sure what that's all about.

The first post also makes reference to another site that specifically addresses Audio with Skype on Fedora 9 issues, it did clear the choppiness of the sound and my post is what I found with mic issues on my PC. It's not perfect, but it seems to work pretty good. My wife and I want to try it for a couple of months and then do a long term thing with SkypeIn.
