steve02a 0 Posted November 9, 2003 I'm using Linux from Lycoris and it's using the KDE desktop....i'm having trouble installing and using yahoo messenger. I have the following file: rh9.ymessenger-1.0.4-i386.rpm I click the file and it installs, but that's where I'm lost. What should I be doing next? Yea, i'm a sever newbie to linux - just jumping in there and pressing buttons and things to get used to it. I dug around in folders and found where it was installed, clicked a few things..nothing happens. I've read some stuff about I need x-window. I'm not even sure what that is. I just want yahoo installed and working..I don't want an encylopedia of "how to use linux" or "linux for newbies"...so..can someone help me out? I did successuflly get AIM (GAIM) installed and working, so that's cool. Just want yahoo now... Share this post Link to post
egorgry 0 Posted November 9, 2003 Don't worry if you're clicking on stuff you have X windows Gaim should work with yahoo. Just go to accounts at the login in screen click add and select protocol: yahoo add your screen name and password. if you want to use the yahoo client... from a terminal type. Code: whereis ymessenger that should give you the location of the app. If it's in your path you can type Code: ymessenger and it should launch for you. if it's not you may need to type the whole output of your whereis command. Code: /usr/bin/ymessenger ....or somthing like that. If it was me I'd use gaim or psi for everything. God luck. http://psi.affinix.com/ http://gaim.sourceforge.net/ Share this post Link to post
