libyahoo2 does not yet have support for Voice messages, nor for IMvironments.

I've made 2 packages, one containing the necessary library and one containing all the development files. Most people you'll only need the libyahoo2-1.0.1-i486.pet

to restore the old behavior to ayttm (and thus get a smaller yahoo plugin), you can compile with these options enabled --enable-static --disable-shared --with-pic

Hi Michalis

for y/info

both new packages (ayttm 0.6.3-1) and this one continue don't to work with yahoo messenger in Quirky 1.2.

in all cases, I thank you for your reaction and your efforts.

bye

First of all libyahoo2 is only an add on library that is being used from ayttm and other programs. So in order to connect to yahoo you must use ayttm.

I checked and it crashed to me too so I'll report it to the dveloper. Actually both libyahoo2 and libenchant segfault even that they both compile fine

Also keep in mind that I'm only packaging the program, I'm not coding or developing it. Thous if it's not working the best thing you can do is fill a bug report at ayttm tracker and definitely siddheshp will help you track down the problem.

the enchant bug should be fixed in svn now it was segfaulting if it couldn't find a dictionary.... not sure about yahoo - it could be ssl related

This one it is fixed from the previous version and it was affecting no english puppies.

The new one has a problem with a path not defined, it doesn't seem to be very serious as ayttm works anyway but in console it prompts that can't find it or something like that (I'm not posting from my pc now and can't see it). The problem of segfault it appears when I call the library for example when I type in the terminal:
/usr/lib/enchant/libenchant.so -v
I'll compile it again with the version from svn and will check it.

As for libyahoo2 is also being developed by siddheshp so I believe we will get to the problem soon. I don't think it is ssl related since that problem existed in the previous version and now it is fixed, or at least it's supposed to

By the way next release I'll build it static
