Updated my skype install guide for ubuntu:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=2588640

The new skype requires i386 libdbus-1-3 and a symbolic link from libdbus-1.so.2 to libdbus-1.so.3.2.0
I'm using 64-bit Ubuntu so this may already be done when you install on an i386 machine.

I am a fedora user and I am running f7. I tried to the do the same thing on my fedora box (creating a soft link from libdbus-1.so.2 to libdbus-1.so.3.2.0 inside the /lib directory). Skype starts but hangs at the "License Agreement" screen. Does anyone tried to get the newer skype running in fedora?

What version of qt4 are you running? I seem to recall seeing somewhere in the forums that this is a Qt bug. Try updating it to qt 4.3.3. Also make sure you're on the 1.4.0.64 alpha, as it has numerous bug fixes, including:
