Problem with yahoo messenger, Fedora 7

[Wise, Jeremey]

What should be done now ? 
install a better and more supported Global IM such as "pidgin"
 
 
Can I use "yum" to short the issue?
'yum install pidgin'

Subject: Problem with yahoo messenger, Fedora 7


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
<http://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
