Re: HOWTO: Install Yahoo! Messenger for Linux
Why on earth are you trying to do this? See my previous post.
gaim or kopete will connect to Yahoo!, MSN, ICQ and others
Re: HOWTO: Install Yahoo! Messenger for Linux
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.

so what do i do now
Re: HOWTO: Install Yahoo! Messenger for Linux
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
Re: HOWTO: Install Yahoo! Messenger for Linux
When following the above directions, I get:
poohbah@dell-unbuntu:~$ sudo apt-get libssl0.9.6
Password:
E: Invalid operation libssl0.9.6

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?
Re: HOWTO: Install Yahoo! Messenger for Linux
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.
Re: HOWTO: Install Yahoo! Messenger for Linux
Thanks, Loell.
The current version doesn't allow file transfers?
Michael
Re: HOWTO: Install Yahoo! Messenger for Linux
actually, it does but only limited to 250kb file per transfer
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.
