    YM for Linux? don't bother. It doesn't have voice or webcam support and its interface is butt ugly. Meng was right use Kopete, GAIM (No webcam/voice), or gyachi.

    Hello, everyone!
    I found some nice program for voice and webcam chat. Its name is Qnext. You can use it on Mac, Linux and Windows. It supports almost all known protocols including Yahoo! and MSN. The download link is here:
    http://www.qnext.com/download_linux.php

    When following the above directions, I get:
    poohbah@dell-unbuntu:~$ sudo apt-get libssl0.9.6
    Password:
    E: Invalid operation libssl0.9.6
    poohbah@dell-unbuntu:~$ sudo apt-get install libssl0.9.6
    Reading package lists... Done
    Building dependency tree
    Reading state information... Done
    Package libssl0.9.6 is not available, but is referred to by another package.
    This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
    is only available from another source
    E: Package libssl0.9.6 has no installation candidate

    So, this doesn't work.

    It has been suggested that we just use gaim instead. I like gaim a lot, however, I cannot send files or receive files from yahoo IM users, when using gaim ... they get a message that says I am using an obsolete version of Yahoo IM.

    It's some Catch, that Catch 22.

    Anyone have any other ideas?

    i don't think you can transfer files to and from YMessenger linux version either.

    in any case if you could just wait for gyachi's new version, say a month? it can transfer 1 gig file to and from YM windows without a problem.

    Thanks, Loell.

    The current version doesn't allow file transfers?

    Re: HOWTO: Install Yahoo! Messenger for Linux

    Does Kopete come with voice chat support? I'm interested in making phone calls out to regular telephone numbers (e.g. PC to POTS).

    Yahoo messenger supports that, but AFAIK, the linux version does not, nor does gaim nor gyachi.
