Hi All,

I am trying to install yahoo messenger in Fedora 7. The steps I am following
are :

1. Download rh9.ymessenger-1.0.4-1.i386.rpm from messenger.yahoo.com

2. login as root

3. rpm -ihv rh9.ymessenger-1.0.4-1.i386.rpm

It is giving the error :

error: Failed dependencies:
        gdk-pixbuf >= 0.8.0 is needed by ymessenger-1.0.4-1.i386
        libgdk_pixbuf.so.2 is needed by ymessenger-1.0.4-1.i386

4. So I tried with "rpm -ihv --nodeps rh9.ymessenger-1.0.4-1.i386.rpm"

   Preparing...                ###########################################
[100%]
   1:ymessenger             ###########################################
[100%]

5. cd /usr/bin/

6. chmod 777 ymessenger

7. ymessenger

It gave the error:
/opt/ymessenger/bin/ymessenger.bin: error while loading shared libraries:
libgdk_pixbuf.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or
directory

What should be done now ? Can I use "yum" to short the issue?

Thanks in Advance,

Arnab
