Running 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 $%26gt;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!
Reply:In case, you just want to communicate using Yahoo messenger, go to www.e-messenger.com and login using your Yahoo ID. A pop up window would come up with the same Yahoo friends and interface.
