Even though pidgin-2.5.2 is in the ports system the package in out of date. Can the package be updated for 7.1 release? -----Original Message----- From: Tim Clewlow [mailto:tim@clewlow.org] Sent: Thursday, October 23, 2008 8:18 PM To: ports@freebsd.org Cc: fbsd1@a1poweruser.com Subject: Re: FreeBSD Port: gtkyahoo-0.18.3_4 > I installed the package of this port. > Did a rehash from the command line and then startx. > Can't find it in the gnome desktop. > What should I do? The sourceforge page for this project says "GTKyahoo project was closed down on February 27, 2003." http://gtkyahoo.sourceforge.net/ You may have a much easier time installing something that is being currently maintained. I believe net-im/pidgin is quite popular and is actively maintained. Pidgin is a messenger client, and it can handle quite a few protocols, including yahoo.
