Unless you are having hard drive problems, I would re-install and get a fresh start. That usually means something is corrupt, some file or something.
Try that and see if it does it again. May want to grab the latest version while you are at it.

It was happened to me also few days ago.. I tried to remove ymessnger rpm and again reinstalled but that was no use.. I think it is due to improper dependencies..
Now i using Ymessenger but Now i have Redhat 9, earlier i had Redhat 8..
-
That upgrade may help. They change that thing pretty regular. Keeps those programers on their toes.
Glad you got it going, even happier that you got a newer Linux. :!: :!:

i think i solved the problem
i downloaded the messenger for rhl 8.0 and it is working fine
-
I took a gamble and used the RH RPM on Mandrake 9.2 but still get the segmentation fault. I heard a whisper that there was a file that could be manually edited or deleted to get around this. Anybody know of that or have other suggestions?
I've regressed to using the Windows version. :-(
thanks

Why dont you use KOPETE ?? It is good . take look at that BTW. you cant use Yahoo chat in Ymessenger client so you have to use gyach...
download kopete today and u can use yahoo..
-
Until now I'd never heard of Kopete. I'm downloading it for a look.
Thanks
David

Downloaded, made and installed ok, except I can't see anyway to configure it to use a proxy/firewall. I clicked connect and it hung.
Have you used this through a firewall and/or proxy?
thanks
David
-
Well, ya I noticed that it has no system of configuring to use it behind proxy but as I think it is part of KDE system you can use it behind proxy by configuring your system ( koquerer ) to use proxy.. Try that and tell us!!
-
Not sure if this will appear twice or not... something weird happened
Konqueror is already configured to access the web via the proxy and firewall here. Unless it looks at Mozilla or something... I don't use that. I'll set that up with the same proxy info and see what happens. Planning to install Mandrake 10 tomorrow... who knows, maybe that will help
cheers

I had the same segmentation fault error.What i did was delete the .ymessenger folder
.This is a hidden directory.Try erasing the rpm.Restart your pc and type ymessenger on the cmdLine.This worked for me> I hope it works for you guys.
-
I was wondering if u could help. I seem to have a problem with Kopete. It worked fine until i changed the appearance. Now it just asks for the password. I write it ok, but it still says it's wrong and it doesn't login. I use it instead of yahoo messenger, because i am using Mandrake. I heard Gaim is OK. Can u please help me? I really need to use the messenger as soon as possible. Thank you
-
I am able to run yahoo messenger as root, but with a user account, I get a segmentation fault the ymessenger does not run. I am using Mandrake9.1 and ymessenger for RH9 and also tried the version for RH8, with same results. This did not happen in RH9 (naturally). What should I do?
Regards.

Hey all those guys having this prob I had this problem too but managed to solve it. After i installed "rh9.ymessenger-1.0.4-1.i386.rpm" it ran only once. Every time afterwards i received the message "Segmentation Fault".
I am a KDE user on RedHatLinux9. Also i prefer bash on GUI and always use Konsole to start ymessenger. This is what i did to handle the prob. It worked with me. Try it & it might work with you. :)
1-> uninstall the ymessenger here is the command
#rpm -e ymessenger
Incase this command doesn't works for you or you are having
problem uninstalling it, just delete the "ymessenger" and
"ymessenger.local" files in /usr/bin and move to step2
here is the command to do that
#cd /usr/bin
#rm ymessenger
#rm ymessenger.local
2-> Delete the directory "ymessenger" in /opt
use GUI to do that or Konsole. Here is the command
#cd /opt
#rm -r ymessenger
keep pressing y to acknowledge the delete process
3-> Delete the hidden directory ".ymessenger" located at /root
use GUI. Simply go to /root and from view check the "show hidden
files" option. select the directory and del it.
4-> Ok we are done. now install ymessenger again. Move to the
directory containing the .rpm. Here is the command to install on
Konsole
#rpm -ihv rh9.ymessenger-1.0.4-1.i386.rpm
if this fails to work try -Uhv instead of -ihv in above command
#rpm -Uhv rh9.ymessenger-1.0.4-1.i386.rpm
5-> After the installation procedure, just type "ymessenger" and there
you go. type "ymessenger" any where as the shortcut for it's
binary file is added in /usr/bin. Just type "ymessenger" whereever
you are and with a little luck you'll be enjoying chatting with
you friends. ENJOY !! :))
