Having problems with installation & uninstallation of some programs


Hello people,

I installed Skype on my Fedora 17 64-bit. The icon comes down bottom right. I can't see the icon in the applications. I knew I messed up something while installation. Hence I want to do it again. I tried uninstalling by yum remove skype. I keep getting this error.

Code:
yum remove skype
Loaded plugins: langpacks, presto, refresh-packagekit
No Match for argument: skype
No Packages marked for removal
And then I tried installing Libre Office. I got into the root with su - command. I used wget some link to download the thing. When I tried to extract, this is the error I got.
Code:
tar: LibO_3.6.2*: Cannot open: No such file or directory
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
But that's not all, I somehow managed to extract it by getting out of the root. I installed this libpng-compat later by getting into the root. And then when I tried the yum localinstall. I got this error.
Code:
[root@Ankur-Fedora ~]# yum localinstall RPMS/*.rpm RPMS/desktop-integration/libreoffice3.6-freedesktop-menus-3.6*.noarch.rpm
Loaded plugins: langpacks, presto, refresh-packagekit
Cannot open: RPMS/*.rpm. Skipping.
Cannot open: RPMS/desktop-integration/libreoffice3.6-freedesktop-menus-3.6*.noarch.rpm. Skipping.
Nothing to do
Please help. I need Skype & Libre Office. I am new to Fedora.

Oh yeah, for the installation guide I am following if-not-true-then-false's blog.

Thank you.
