How do I install Skype 4 onto Fedora 17, x86_64

I can't seem to install it. I tried downloading it and then doing a rpm -Uvh, and even a yum install http://..../skype-4-....

No matter what it seems to fail. I keep on getting the error "Error: Protected multilib versions" on multiple packages.

I have also found that some people were able to install "alien" and then convert the Ubuntu 64 bit deb package into an RPM which they used to install. I couldn't seem to get this "alien" installed by installing html2text and their deb RPM package either.

Can someone please give me some guidence?
