Dear Jay or to whom it may concern. The bug I reported is in error, The yahoolib error was caused by the fact that my login password was incorrect. Nothing was wronge with the kyahoo program other than the error message was a little misleading. Being New to linux I thought yahoolib was a library file missing. I stand corrected, I found the problem and it was me. Im letting you know so that you don't waste your valuable time chasing ghosts that arnt your fault at all. The fault was mine for being too hasty in reporting a bug. The program works very well and im every happy with kde2 and debian 3.0 . Sorry for bothering you Sincerely Larry Sheetz
