X-Mailer: Mozilla 4.76 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.2.12 i386) X-Accept-Language: en MIME-Version: 1.0 To: questions@freebsd.org Subject: Aol's linux AIM client? Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG 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? ~Gary To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
