How to install Gyachi on ubuntu 11.04 (Natty) using PPA

GyachE Improved (GyachI) program is a fork from Gyach Enhanced Yahoo! client for Linux operating systems intended for bug-fixes and further development that supports the Yahoo! Messenger Protocol. After a period of no progress on Gyach Enhanced for about a year, a group of GYach Enhanced users decided to continue development of that client, fearing that original author Erica Andrews lost interest or abandoned project altogether.

GyachE Improved supports almost all of the features found in the official Windows Yahoo! Messenger client: Voice chat, webcams, faders, ‘nicknames', audibles, avatars, display images, and more. GyachE Improved uses Gtk+ 2 for its user interfaces

    I’m with Vicky, just installed this on Ubuntu 11.04, seems to work except failure to handle CAPTCHA code display and entry. I looked thru all settings for something that might allow having the captcha open a browser page like Pidgeon does. NOPE! Someone please offer some help here?
