    I have a workaround for this, but you probably won't like it. I installed windows(sorry) in virtualbox and set it to NAT for the network. I can run windows and yahoo messenger from there. The only reason I have done this is because my wife likes to use the audibles to get my attention when i am away at school and I do the same to get her attention when I am on a break and can talk to her.

    Re: HOWTO: Install Yahoo! Messenger for Linux

    hi...just for ur info..this version of yahoo messneger is very very very old...i shall say, file transfer dun even work on it! (not compatible with the new messneger 7.5 and above

    as such, ur best choice to come closest to yahoo is either Pidgin(previously know as GAIM) or Kopete....

    or u could try XP in virtualbox (virtualization) just for the sake of running yahoo in it...sadly webcam wont work like that

    Install Yahoo! Messenger for Linux
    1. Install libssl0.9.6 through Synaptic or
    Quote:
    sudo apt-get install libssl0.9.6
    2. Download this file from messenger.yahoo.com.

    3. In a terminal, write:
    Quote:
    sudo dpkg -i /path/ymessenger_1.0.4_1_i386.deb
    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.
