Gyache on Ubuntu

Target: To have Yahoo messenger running on Ubuntu.
Now, Yahoo is not available for any linux flavor, so I searched for Yahoo equivalent IMs and found a ton of them, although they do not support integrating with Yahoo's webcam and voice. The only one that I came across is Gyache/Gyachi/Gyachl.

The following is painfull, and recommend to only those who like to enjoy pain once in a while. Building Gyache from source.

1> Downloaded Gyache from Sourceforge http://downloads.sourceforge.net/gyachi/gyachi-1.1.60.tar.gz
2> Extracted the gz file via File Roller Archive Manager in a folder called Applications
3> Opened a terminal went to the extracted folder and ran ./autogen.sh
4> Error: automake not found.
4.1> Opened Synaptics Package Manager and hunted for latest version of automake, marked for installation and applied the change.
4.2> Synaptics downloaded the package and installed it.
5> Ran ./autogen.sh again.
5.1> Error: macro `AM_PATH_GTK_2_0' not found in library
5.2> Opened Synaptics again and marked the libgtk2.0-dev package for installation. This package imported (dependencies) around 40 other packages which were needed anyways like glib, X and others.
6> Ran ./autogen.sh again. No errors. These were the messages...
