You could download the rpm and then make it a Slackware package with rpm2tgz.
Yahoo Messenger rpm is for redhat, and it's broken on slackware, besides it doesn't have webcam support

do you mean yahoo is giving the source code for yahoo messenger?


gaim, ayttm, gyach, kopete can be used as yahoo messenger client

kopete even supports msn and yahoo (partial) webcam

some say that ayttm and gyach support yahoo webcam

why don't you try gaim 2 beta?
