Iam trying to install ymessenger for linux but the messenger is hanging. It goes into connecting mode but never connects. Sometimes, I even got segmentation fault. I also, tried installing redhat version8 instead of redhatversion 9 but I am not able to launch the messenger. I am getting a segmentation fault.
Any suggestions, advise
-
I heard that there is patch for that but never got it, yahoo messenger client for linux is not reliable at all, instead you can use -- 1. Kopete and 2. Gyach..

if u are not able to connect yahoo server when it goes into connecting mode....
this is coz u have a file in "usr/bin" named ymessenger
check 4 this file if its renamed to "ymessenger (copy)"
this happens when u try to install it again.....
j
Solution.... just rename it back to "ymessenger"
and u will soon connect to server ...
have a nice time
ENJOY!!

The best way to dealth with segmentation fault with redhat9 of yahoo messenger is
(1) Uninstall current Installed ymessenger
(2) Remove /opt/ymessenger directory if exist.
(3) Install some older version.
(4) It will work.Now upgrade it with newest version.
It Will Definetily work.

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 !! :))

Hi I have a similar problem using MandrakeLinux
I downloaded rh9.ymessenger-1.0.4-1.i386.rpm from the yahoo website
then I run from the root account : rpm -ihv rh9.ymessenger-1.0.4-1.i386.rpm
I received these messages
Preparing... ########################################### [100%]
1:ymessenger ########################################### [100%]
After that I run /usr/bin/ymessanger
The installl wizard is start and after selecting what should be installed I received.
Error: Unable to access /root/.ymessenger directory or write to it.
Creating Yahoo! Messenger directory: /root/.ymessenger.

-
