Yes. Without libv4l it displays the same message.
Try to find libv4l-0.6.2-1.fc10.i386.rpm and install it like
described here:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/linuxemu-lbc-install.html

You can use:
export LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l2convert.so
# export LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l1compat.so
/usr/local/share/skype/skype --resources=/usr/local/share/skype $@
