gyach problems

hello everybody,
this is rakesh.
I use yahoo messenger on linux but it doesnt have the option of chatting and going
to the chatrooms that yahoo isproviding.
I cam to know fromsomewhere that GYACH is a good software that enables yahoo
chatting so i i installed it.
But now,the installation is over and i'm getting the loggin prompt of gyach.
i give in the username and password of yahoo and in server the default option is
scs.yahoo.com andthen when i try logging in then everytime itshows teh same message
ERROR IN CONNECT() 111
wot shud i do bout it.
does any of the wineutilites serve this purpose
thanx a lot in advance
waiting for rep;ies

http://gaim.sourceforge.net/ allows you to connect to yahoo chat rooms......

thanx for ur responce,
I also have a gaim in mysystem too which is also nonfunctional.
it prompts for a username and password but wheni give it thats it.
Nothing more happens and the screen goesstandstill.
id like to know one thing,the username and the password that the
gaim is prompting,do i have to use a new username andpassword for
gaim or that for yahoo or msn is enough.
thanx again for ur responce,
waiting for ur reply

no, you should just use your normal yahoo or msn password...

what version of gaim are you using? I know on some of the older releases, yahoo didn't work correctly

hello,
thanx for ur reply.
The GAIM that i use prompts for screenname and password for which i type in the
yahoo username and password and int he protocol section i put in the 'yahoo'.
Then when i login i get the message UNABLE TO READ.
and that s it
And the version of game is GAIM-0.74
thanx again.
waiting for ur reply

nope, you can keep the old version. Looks like you need this then

hi,
thanx a lot for url that u had sent.
Though after that rpm had installed ,the gaim1.1.2 did install properly but that made
no change.
Now i have one more option in my /usr/local/bin after i installed new gaim
i.e gaim-remote and when i start that command i get the message

root@localhost bin]# gaim-remote
Usage: gaim-remote command [OPTIONS] [URI]

COMMANDS:
uri Handle AIM: URI
quit Close running copy of Gaim

OPTIONS:
-h, --help [commmand] Show help for command
and when i type gaim, the same old version i.e gaim0.7.4 opens and i get the same old
problem i.e wotever i type iget the essage ,rakesh is disconnected
waiting for ur reply
thanx again for ur replies

rakesh
