Yahoo Messenger for Linux......

[ra21vi]

Hi friends,
I downloaded Y! Messenger for Linux from http://messenger.yahoo.com (linux link) and it is in rpm form. I installed the package with rpm -Uvh and it was saved in /opt/ymessenger
and a link in /usr/bin
when I opened ymessenger and all other executables, it started installing Yahoo in GUI mode, and after successfully installed, i got YaHoo messenger. But later when i open the same file, it again started installing, and then showed the mouse cursor as it is loading (busy). But after some time, it disappered. I restartrd the system, but the problem is same. It is not launched, just shows busy cursor for some time.

Try running the command "ymessenger."

Ok, i did that when i installed Y! messenger.
That opens a dialog for installation job, and next asks you for desktop icons, Gnome/KDE links and after doing that it starts for the first time. Works fine.
But when i closed it and later i did $>>ymessenger, i got same installtion from beginning.
and after some trial, it is giving segmentation fault" err.
Now what?
------------------
