next in thread | raw e-mail | index | archive | help
I was wondering if anyone had succussfully installed Aol's Linux Instant
Messanger on FreeBSD. I've messed with Gaim before, but I was hoping
for an AIM client with a little more stability. I downloaded the .rpm
from www.aim.aol.com, and did 'rpm2cpio aim-whatever-it-was.rpm | cpio
-i --quiet', and it put everything where it's supposed to go in
/usr/local.
When I try to run it, it says 'libgtk-1.2.so.2 not found' or something
to that effect. I was reading the FAQ on AOL's page, and it says:
Q: Is it possible for me to run Linux AIM in other Unix systems like
FreeBSD?
A: Some users reported they can run it under
FreeBSD with the following conditions:
1.) Linux Compatibility must be
enabled; 2.) The files inux files libgdk-1.2.so.0 and
libgtk-1.2.so.0 must be placed in the
/compat/linux/lib directory.
I already have Linux compatibility enabled and functional, but I can't
find these 2 files that I'm supposed to put in /compat/linux/lib. I did
a find in /usr/X11R6/lib, but was unable to turn anything up.
Has anyone gotten this to work?
