RE: Problem with yahoo messenger, Fedora 7

["Wise, Jeremey" <jwise@xxxxxxxxx>]

What should be done now ?

install a better and more supported Global IM such as "pidgin"

 

 

Can I use "yum" to short the issue?

'yum install pidgin'

Subject: Problem with yahoo messenger, Fedora 7

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

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" 

   
Preparing...                
########################################### [100%]

   1:ymessenger             ########################################### [100%]

5. cd /usr/bin/

6. chmod 777 ymessenger

7. ymessenger

It gave the error:
/opt/ymessenger/bin/ymessenger.bin: error while loading shared libraries: libgdk_pixbuf.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

What should be done now ? Can I use "yum" to short the issue?

Thanks in Advance,

Arnab
