Is there any 64-bit version of skype for fedora 22?

Question

I followed the tutorial available on http://edmondscommerce.github.io/Fedora/getting-skype-working-on-fedora-20.html to install skype on F20. However, when I launch skype it crashes all the time...

version: skype-4.2.0.11-fc16

Any suggestions...
