Msn Messenger In Linux
 

Hi
How can i use msn Messenger on linux. After downloading AMSN what commands should I have to run

depends how you got it, but i'll go through each one

if you have .tar.gz

tar xvfz amsn*.tar.gz
cd amsn*/
./configure
make
make install
/usr/bin/amsn (probably) (find the binary)

if you have the .rpm

rpm -i amsn*.rpm
/usr/bin/amsn

then you'll be presented with the amsn screen and its all click and point, it is actually quite a nice clone,

alternativly install gaim and insert the msn plugin :)

I agree, use gaim ;)

I Agree! gaim rocks!

GAIMS good, but it looks too much like MSN Messsenger

i just looks like any messenger really, amsn looks a log log more like it seeing as it's intended to be an exact clone....

I love kopete for MSN, ICQ, AIM, ...

It works best for me :-)

if u have amsn, then go go to ur konsole, cd msn, ./amsn

hem... wine can run MSN Messenger on Linux. Just go to appdb.winehq.com and search for MSN. go in the MSN Messenger topic, and then open the 3.6 one. I know, it is weird, but there is the DLLOverrides i needed to run the setup. After that MSN Messenger for windows ON LINUX went gold (is this the good word meaning it ran smooth?):D

Hi,
Just untar the compressed file you downloaded with:
-tar -zvxf <file name>
-change to the ../msn directory
-run ./amsn (AMSN requires tcl/tk)
You're done. No need to install anything but the tcl/tk interpreter.
Have fun

I use Kmess.
