Kuba, are you running 5.1-R?  Several people have complained about
undefined library symbols.  The YMessenger port comes as a binary-only
distribution from Yahoo!:

http://messenger.yahoo.com/messenger/download/unix.html

It appears to have been compiled for 4.5, and I don't see an obvious
solution for running it on the 5.x branch.  Even with the 4x-compat
package installed, people are encountering rtld errors.  I will submit a
PR to mark it broken on 5.1 onward...
