I had a similar issue, the way I corrected it was by downloading the previous version of yahoo messenger, then I just realised that gaim was a better client, and used that. It appears that in the new version of yahoo messenger, it errors out if you have a previous version installed, which uses a different directory structure, by installing then using rpm -e to remove the older version, and trying the install again might correct the issue, or maybe doing a search for yahoomessenger and just moving them to a backup location.

Hello Linux Experts redhat 9

i am trying to install yahoo messenger that is in RPM Format in GUI Enviourment when i double click the RPM it Normaly install but Yahoo not shown in start-up menu
But when i try to install same package from TERMINAL using # rpm -i yahoomessenger.rpm
i got a message that can rename a directory

Any how I download a file Name gtkhtml-0.8 from yahoo site wich might be install first and then Yahoo works (I Think so ).
