Problem installing "ymessenger_1.0.4_1_i386.deb"

Yahoo Messenger is quite poor. The downloadable .deb did not work for me. Using alien which converts .rpm to .deb enabled me to use the Redhat version. Follow the instructions at http://go.bizkomm.com/computers/ubuntu_linux_tips_and_tricks/77/installing-yahoo-messenger-in-ubuntu/

Thanks for your quick response....
I have almost got it...
I have downloaded, converted and also installed....
but i was not able to find messenger in application=>Internet=>
where will it be???plz...
and once again thank u.......

hi,
you should find it by using "whereis" command. Type this in a terminal:

whereis ymessenger

You can also list applications which starts with y. To do this open a terminal type y and press tab key. A list of applications will appear starting with y.

Hope this will help you.

Or locate, as in: locate ymessenger

Thanks arochester, that solved my question.

when compared to messenger for windows yahoo messenger for linux is just waste...
its better to use Gaim.....

thank you Ali KIBICI and arochester.... thanks for your answers....
thank you
