yahoo messenger on FC2
 

Hello!

My yahoo messenger won't work :(
I installed it and when I run /opt/ymessenger/bin/ymessenger I get an segmentation fault.
What's that and how can I get it working?

Thank you!
Boby

What does it say when you use the command line to open the Messenger ? Just "segmentation fault"?

Just install the latest version of GAIM.

http://sourceforge.net/projects/gaim/

It works perfectly :)

...that's what I get.
Before I was connected to an LAN and yahoo messenger worked perfect. Now I have to use a modem for 3 months and after I installed this modem it doesn't want to work anymore. I tried a new installation and ... nothing :(

Boby

the problem was that I used the messenger on an LAN and that had an proxy, all properties where stored in ~/.ymessenger
so I used this: "rm -fdr ~/.ymessenger" and then started the yahoo messenger again. It worked!

Wow. I am glad you shared this with all of us. It will most definetely benefit others.

Thanks :)

If you need to use YIM, the best way is to use Yahoo Messenger from Yahoo website, it is the most stable, others like gaim, kopete just usually doesn't work with YIM, I can't stop keep in touch with my friends for a month for those guy to fix their program. :mad:

yes I'm using yahoo messenger from their site messenger.yahoo.com .

Yes. Gaim is cool. Download gaim 0.79 and all will be well.

Cheers.

Simply because it's not supported in gaim.
Yahoo try to block all 3rd-party IM software once in a while so it's very likely that you will not be able to use YM using gaim soon. Otherwise, I like gaim too.

hi there

sorry for the double posts above

yahoo had stopped 3 party IM clients,so i upgraded to .80 version of gaim.which is working now

also can u pl. tell me how to go into invisible mode on gaim on linux

also do we have other 3rd prty IM clients for YIM as gaim for linux
