How to bridge skype and empathy in ubuntu 14.04

Question

Can some one help me to bridge between empathy and skype? I followed every post from here and google. But it's not working. There is no option for skype in gnome-account.

I have installed pidgin-skype and telepathy-haze. Also I am using skype 4.2. I revert back from 4.3 to 4.2. Linux skype is a crap. I want to use skype using other messenger UI. I also tried wine but no luck. I found that latest version of skype can't be run in wine.

Finally system info:

Ubuntu 14.04 64bit
unity 7.2.1
empathy 3.8.6
skype 4.2

Solution

The problem is that on Ubuntu 14.04, Empathy uses (F4 key) gnome-account, but the tutorial using empathy-skype and skype-manager says to add your Skype account to the Empathy protocol named ‘bigbrownchunx-skype-dbus’.

My solution is to open a terminal and type: empathy-accounts. You will open the screen described in the tutorial; then select Skype (dBus) profile.
