libyahoo2 is a C library implementation of a Yahoo! Messenger client.
Changes include:
* Fixes to work with big endian systems * Multiple offline messages are now received correctly * Memory leaks cleaned up * Check for glib-2 as well as glib-1 * Added a pkgconfig file and spec file for RPM, and make libyahoo2 versioned * libyahoo2 now automatically scans ports 21, 23, 25 and 80 if it cannot connect on the default port. * no longer strip colour/style codes from messages * added colour entry for any colour to yahoo2_types.h

libyahoo2 comes with a sample client that you can use as a template to build your own client.

eh?
I don't understand. What does this have to do with another client connecting? If you can have n browsers connected to one http server, then why not n yahoo clients to one yahoo server?
the port scan is in case you're behind a firewall and cannot connect on port 5050 (like I am).
NOTE: 21 is no longer scanned. That was a leftover entry in the ChangeLog.

libyahoo2 is a library gaim is a complete program libyahoo2 is based on gaim gaim does not use nor need libyahoo2 libyahoo2 does not need gaim
you would need libyahoo2 if you are a developer who wants to write a yahoo messenger client like gnuyahoo, centericq, fire, kopete, everybuddy, etc, and doesn't want the hassle of doing the packet parsing.

Asking wrong question (I think) ? It should be like, "Does gaim work with libyahoo2 ?".
And the answer is, "Yes, gaim uses libyahoo2".
warm regards

No, actually it doesn't. The libyahoo2 code is based on the gaim code.
I thought it is. Because it was written somewhere in libyahoo2 dist files. But you know better (you developed it).

yeah, it is mentioned that libyahoo2 is derivative of gaim. libyahoo2 is used in GNUYahoo, Fire, CenterICQ, Everybuddy and soon to be in Kopete (it's already in CVS). KYIM has also expressed interest.
