Yahoo messenger and RPM issue


Hi,
I downloaded the rpm of Yahoo Messenger of Red Had 9 from
http://messenger.yahoo.com/messenger/download/unix.html

I installed the rpm using

# rpm -i <package name>

As per the instructions on the website, I ran the command

# /usr/bin/ymessenger

This created the necessary user profile and started Yahoo Messenger.
Next I closed the Messenger and tried running it using ths shortcuts the installer had created. However the application did not start.
I tried starting the messenger from the command line in Konsole but got a Segmentation Fault.

I tried removing the package followed by re-installation. However I am still getting the Segmantation Fault.

Distribution: Fedora 4

Any Ideas???
