Pidgin (IM) not listing Office Communicator protocol even though MS Communicator plugin is installed

aniruddha.jagdale · 12-11-2015, 04:00 AM

Hi All,

I'm running RHEL6.6 (64 bit) and want to use Pidgin for communication, since on linux i can't use Lync, Pidgin is the only solution I have to communicate in office. I have installed purple-sipe-1.18.5-1.el6.i686.rpm but still Office Communicator protocol doesn't show up in the list for protocol selection. Can anyone please help?

This is essentially a duplicate of another thread you have about this same issue. Pay for RHEL and install the missing dependencies through the RHN, or load a different, up-to-date OS.

Hi Balaji,

I've sky, but that's not free software. Fee version supports only 2 min of voice call and 2 min of desktop sharing.

Kind regards,
