[plug] Problems Mandrake 9.0 and Yahoo

[Bennett, Phillip]

Are you using just RPM, or URPMI?
 
URPMI will take care of the dependencies, but it might not have a source for
the yahoo client...
 
Try 'urpmi yahoo' and see what it throws up.  :)
 
HTH,
Phil.

Boy getting frustrated trying to install yahoo or just about most programs
these days in Linux.
 
Being a recent convert to Linux from that "other" operating system i have
been persevering with the change and learning.
 
The thing I find frustrating is when installing the rpm it tells me certain
dependencies are need..which is fair enough.
 
So I go looking for the dependencies and download and start to install them
only to find that they also require a dependencies...grrr.
 
One in particular is the glic_2.3 which I thought I downloaded and installed
only to find that also req a dependencies program..
 
can any one assist with what I may be doing wrong
thanks
