Yahoo messenger for 64bit Ubuntu....

[IG]

When i try to install i get the following error:

root@tushar:/home/tushar/Desktop# dpkg -i ymessenger_1.0.4_1_i386.deb
dpkg: error processing ymessenger_1.0.4_1_i386.deb (--install):
package architecture (i386) does not match system (amd64)
Errors were encountered while processing:
ymessenger_1.0.4_1_i386.deb
root@tushar:/home/tushar/Desktop#

Isnt 32 bit support there by defualt in any 64bit OS now?

Na.U cant install i386 on amd.this has nothing to do with 32/64 bit thing...the package is made for i386 {Intel}..thats all.also.yahoo msngr is very old..the lib versions also may be older needed....u should try gaim IM client...Best of LUX

Try Gaim..Or download yahoo messenger for Linux.

He's getting problems with Yahoo Messenger for Linux only
as he's using a 64bit system it's good to stick with gaim as
Yahoo Messenger for linux offers no features that are not
present in Gaim.

Then better use Gaim its present by default in Ubuntu...

I know.I am using Gaim.But I prefer yahoo messenger.Thanks neways

So some times if u've got Lux,ymsgr will work...

It should work if i use my intel pc with a non-64 bit Linux OS i guess.....

A friend of mine managed to install yahoo messenger
on his amd 64 system (ubuntu) using the rpm package
but i dont remember whether he was using the 64bit
os or not
