When i tried install skype on centos 6.5 i received next message:
 
error: Failed dependencies:                                       
        alsa-lib >= 1.0.23 is needed by skype-4.2.0.13-fc16.i586  
        libQtWebKit.so.4 is needed by skype-4.2.0.13-fc16.i586

        qtwebkit is needed by skype-4.2.0.13-fc16.i586  
 
then i tried next commands and works very well. 
 
1) Install EPEL if you haven't already.
#yum install http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/6/i386/epel-release-6-8.noarch.rpm

2) Download the RPM here
#wget http://www.bromosapien.net:8080/others/skype-4.2.0.11-4.el6.i686.rpm

3) Install it as so
#yum install skype-4.2.0.11-4.el6.i686.rpm

4) If you receive an error about a GPG key, you may import my key as necessary.
#wget http://www.bromosapien.net:8080/others/SYRKIT-GPG-KEY.pub
#rpm --import SYRKIT-GPG-KEY.pub
