Re: HOWTO: Install Yahoo! Messenger for Linux
A more recent version of Gyachi is here : https://launchpad.net/~loell/+archive/ppa
Has anyone managed to do voice calls with Gyachi ?
FYI, to do voice/video calls with Windows interlocutors, I recommend :
- Ekiga (which exists also on Windows)
- Empathy (with Telepathy PPA , and ubuntu-restricted-extras package, and of course a Jabber account e.g. gmail address), that can do voice&video calls with Windows Gtalk interlocutors
- Skype (which exists also on Windows), but this one is not open-source

voice wont work in 64 bit but i think it does in 32 bit
Re: HOWTO: Install Yahoo! Messenger for Linux
Thank you. Anyone can confirm audio calls work on Gyachi 32 bits ?

Have you been able to do audio or audio+video call ?

I know this is a very old discussion, just wanted to share this site with you guys. It's a web gui to use all sorts of different instant messengers.

Great mention. I shared this in a thread a few days ago. I surprise not much persons actually responded, as I've seen quite a few threads asking how to make voice calls using Yahoo and Messenger Live on Linux.

Yeah... Imo, eBuddy, etc. ... but web-messengers are not the same that an installed one ;) If I can't get yahoo messenger, I rather stay with Pidgin or Kopete :) (I don't like Empathy).
In the past I also tried Y-messenger under wine, 32 bits Ubuntu, but didn't work well.
Cheers.

1. Install libssl0.9.6 through Synaptic or
2. Download
this file from messenger.yahoo.com.
3. In a terminal, write:
replacing
path with the path to where you downloaded the file.
4. Run /usr/bin/ymessenger and follow the few simple instructions for setting up Yahoo! Messenger. An icon will be placed on your desktop.
for those who wish to have a yahoo messenger for windows / mac like experience, its better to install yahoo messenger for windows under wine. linux version is seemingly out dated and unfortunately there isnt any upgrades coz options like pidgin / empathy / kopete come shipped with the ubuntu install...
