Fedora 23 x64 and Skype for Linux: I cannot get Skype installed properly

Well, I can get it installed but it threw up a SELinux alert (?). Once it's installed, it won't start at all. The Skype package came directly from the Skype page here:

http://www.skype.com/en/download-skype/skype-for-linux/downloading/?type=fedora32

Is the problem that the Skype is 32 bit and my OS is 64 bit ?

No, it's that Fedora's default SELinux policies don't like it Recursion Mar 2016 #1

If it started up at all that means you have the x32 compatibility libraries installed.

If I had to guess I'd lean towards pulseaudio being the problem; if you can get me a more detailed error message I'll do what debugging I can.

I've given up on this project for now. I didn't mean to waste your time, so thanks again.
