What version of Skype is installed? Did you try installing the version from Skype's website? http://www.skype.com/intl/en-us/get-skype/on-your-computer/linux/ I just d/l and ran the "dynamic" 4.0.0.8 version on my Company ( locked ) RHEL 6.3 and it works fine. Sometimes the repositories are a version behind.
