gaim1.0 (FC2) installation in linux
 

I tried doing this

rpm -ivh gaim-1.0.0-0.FC2.i386.rpm


But it gave a warning saying "gaim-1.0.0-0.FC2.i386.rpm: V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID 4f2a6fd2 "

Can some one help to sort it out

Thanks in advance

there is no error there. it should have worked fine.

1.0.0 is OLD though, you should NOT be using it, it probably won't work anymore with MSN, Yahoo! etc...

Thank You.

Wat u said was right. There was no error.But it was not working. It was saying "password incorrect" and trying to reconnect again.

How do i sort this out. I want some messenger(preferably yahoo or gaim) to be installed in my pc

Thanks Again.

liek i already said, don't use that version, msn and yahoo have most liekly changed their protocol since then. lateset version is 1.3.1

Can u plz tell me where i can get that version and how i could install it.

Thank You

Since you are on FC2 have you tried
'yum install gaim'

Or "yum update gaim" since its already installed on the system.

I tried yum update install . This is wat it gave.

Thank You

There is a problem with your yum sources. For now, download the version for FC2 on the gaim download site. After you've installed that, go to fedoralegacy and get instructions for setting up yum using their repositories, because Fedora Core 2 is being discontinued soon, so they have taken over any security updates and thats why you maybe having a problem with the main yum repositories.

Thank YOu very much Mr.Reddazz.
NOw gaim is working. But wat is fedoralegacy all about.

Fedoralegacy provide security updates for Linux distributions that are being phased out by Redhat/Fedora.
