System Requirements

Linux: Yahoo! Messenger runs on the Intel chipset and has been tested on RedHat 6.2, 7.2 and 8 and 9; Debian Woody

FreeBSD: Yahoo! Messenger has been tested on FreeBSD 4.5.

These packages require X Windows, GTK 1.2 or greater, openssl 0.9.6 or greater and gdk-pixbuf 0.8.0 or greater
Upgrading your Client

If you are upgrading your client from a previous version of Yahoo! Messenger, please remove the older version first before installing this version.

In addition, due to changes in the base libraries, please rename the preferences file in the directory $HOME/.ymessenger from .ymessenger/preferences to .ymessenger/preferences.old.

The new client will automatically configure your setup. You will not lose any offline or archived messages in this process.
Other notes

This client uses an un-GNOMEified version of GtkHTML 0.8, which is under the LGPL. Download the source.

Note: You can use the md5sum utility to verify the correctness of the downloaded file. The checksums are provided with each file.

So, if I can extract something out of your post, you're trying to install the official Yahoo Messenger client for Linux? This is a very bad idea, since that program is very old and missing many features. I would recommend you use a Linux-native IM client such as GAIM or Kopete. It's likely that if you're using Ubuntu, GAIM is already installed. GAIM will connect you to AIM, MSN, Yahoo, ICQ and Jabber IM networks.
