net-im/ymessenger metadata.xml is misleading, but says seemant.
Comment 2 Seemant Kulleen (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-12-08 18:43:33 UTC 
shoan, can you please attach the output of strace ymessenger and duplicate the segfault please?

Strace of ymessenger

Here you go
Comment 4 Shoan Motwani 2003-12-19 04:59:12 UTC 
Seems to work if on the third screen you do not select any options relating to creating icons and adding menu entries. If nothing on that screen is selected it works fine.
Comment 5 Seemant Kulleen (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-12-29 02:15:52 UTC 
I'll let them know about this.
