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.
