Last hurdle yahoo video chat (solved)

I wanted a complete transition from windows to ubuntu. One thing that was bothering me was audio-video chat on yahoo instant messenger via Linux. I had tried the closest to providing video chat e.g kopete, gyachi. I did not succeed on any of my previous distro. I had seen on many forums that gyachi actually works. So after installing Ubuntu Ibex (8.10) I first installed gspca-source (synaptic). Then i started a program called gstreamer-properties which helped me test the webcam as video input. I found it working as great as my previous distro. At gyachi official site i could only download the hardy package or the source code. I downloaded the source code(i could configure many options). While i tried to install, it asked for a dependency package. I was very suspicious with the dependency package ( i read somewhere that it affects other packages), but just then i found this site. http://ph.ubuntuforums.com/showthread.php?p=4830987. From this site i downloaded the 32bit version gyachi. When i installed it the webcam and the video chat actually started to work. I now found out(gstreamer-properties) that previous vesion of gyachi used v4l(video for linux) default as the video driver, but my webcam worked on v4l2(gstreamer-properties). Installing the intrepid version added the option for v4l2. In the new gyachi even the chat room works great.
