Messenger Wine
Tuesday, December 14th, 2010running yahoo messenger on wine in linux?
Iam interested in running Yahoo Messenger 7.0 Windows version in my OpenSUSE Linux using wine. The installation (with $>wine msgr7in.exe) proceeds till it has to write some registry settings where wine shows errors like WIN32_FIND_DATA data not written. The installation "succeeds" but there is no ysmgr*.exe file in the "c:\program files\Yahoo\Install\Messenger" folder, or any other folder in the ".wine" folder.
I know that there are other chat programs that support Yahoo Protocol, but any help in this will be appreciated.
I had a similar problem on Linux but then had to use GAIM which comes bundled with OPENSUSE 10.
Does not have all the features that Yahoo Messenger 7 has but at least it works.
Cheers!
