Not sure what you're asking. If you want to know what dependencies you NEED for a package, run "rpm -i <package name>", and it'll display whatever is missing. If you just want to know ALL of them, read the man page on the rpm command...the "-qpR" command is what you're after. If you want Skype to *FUNCTION* on RHEL 7, type in "yum install <skype package name>", and it will install the dependencies FOR YOU, automatically.

This will only work if you are PAYING FOR RHEL...are you???

`qtwebkit-2.3.3-3.el7.i686´ is a non existing package.

Why would you buy a commercial server OS to use for skype ?
Suggest : Fedora 21, for skype.

Add the "nux-dextop" repo and "sudo yum install skype".

i was going to have you look at your last post
"how to install program"
but that was from 9 months ago and for Sloaris

this is redhat
so you DO have access to the redhat support you did buy with the required support contract

the standard $299 / year contract also gets you access to the "Knowledgebase "

log into the redhat site with the credentials you set up with the purchas of the contract
and do a search for " install skype"

you WILL need to be logged in to read the search results

Have you tried that? The results of such a search are not very helpful...

and this is RHEL
you buy RHEL for the SUPPORT you paid for
