Hi All,
I am trying to install yahoo messenger in Fedora 7. The steps I am
following are :
1. Download rh9.ymessenger-1.0.4-1.i386.rpm from messenger.yahoo.com
<http://messenger.yahoo.com/>
2. login as root
3. rpm -ihv rh9.ymessenger-1.0.4-1.i386.rpm
It is giving the error :
error: Failed dependencies:
gdk-pixbuf >= 0.8.0 is needed by ymessenger-1.0.4-1.i386
libgdk_pixbuf.so.2 is needed by ymessenger-1.0.4-1.i386
4. So I tried with "rpm -ihv --nodeps rh9.ymessenger-1.0.4-1.i386.rpm"
Wrong move. Yum localinstall <package.rpm> would have work better. Yahoo
messenger on Linux offers nothing over Gaim/Pidgin or Kopete afaik. So I
would recommend using these instead.

Ps: fedora-list is more appropriate if it is not a laptop specific
question.
