Has anyone succeeded in getting Yahoo Messenger working on Fedora Core 4? If so what were the hurdles and what were the tricks?

Thanks - Dan

You could use Gaim, it will connect to yahoo. There are several other messaging clients that will connect to more than one messaging service.

You can also try the officlai Yahoo Messenger; and if it doesn't work then try something else. I don't know if it supports video or anything though.

what are the messengers that support audio chating for the yahoo , msn , icq protocols?
Why yahoo for linux doesn't have the features found in the win32 version?

gaim-vv might have better support for audio and video than gaim

I have used YahooMessenger for linux and its way too far against its windows version. It has no video, no radio broadcast, no avatar, no user status on the list, etc. I am now using gaim for my messenging needs.

*** The gtk-config script installed by GTK could not be found

Install your gtk packages, they should be included with FC4 so you can install them from the CDs. I use aMSN cause' I never talk to anybody on yahoo, it's always been msn.
