Sorry, I'm not sure what you mean. Do you want to run an instant messaging server that Linux and Windows clients can access or just an instant messaging client that has Windows and Linux versions.

I run a Jabber 2 instant messaging server here and my users have mostly gaim and psi as clients. Both gaim and psi have Linux and Windows versions.

so this is what it's gonna be ..

my linux box run a jabber server and a jabber client like gaim and the other windows boxes use the windows version of jabber client ..

am gonna try it.

It works well here - we're using keys/certs that I generated locally to encrypt conversations between the clients and the jabber server and file transfers also work properly.

which jabber server r u using ?! am gonna take the wild fire..

and gaim client for me //linux version// and psi for windows

thanx for helping man

I'm using Jabber2 because it was an easy change from an older Jabber 1 server. Wildfire seems to have a larger feature set according to http://www.jabber.org/admin/jsc/ and I've seen people here recommending it so you shouldn't have any problems with it.

the only problem with wild fire is that is a java program !

and u know what java installing at linux mean ..

see ya after 2 weeks when i install java after reading the whole google

i will try to install it now ..

thanx very much

I haven't checked the Wildfire install yet, but to cut down on your Java install time...
Download jdk-1_5_0_06-linux-i586.bin (or whatever version it's up to now) from http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/download.jsp;
Copy it to the parent of the location you want it installed in, e.g. /usr/local (the reason for this is the modification that installing makes to /etc/mailcap includes the path to the install location);
Make it executable with chmod 0750 /usr/local/jdk-1_5_0_06-linux-i586.bin;
Run it with cd /usr/local && ./jdk-1_5_0_06-linux-i586.bin;
I usually create a link called /usr/local/jdk that points to the install location as well as adding the following to my users' profiles:

Code:

export JAVA_HOME="/usr/local/jdk"
export PATH="$PATH:${JAVA_HOME}/bin"

but the respectable sun java website has forbid our IPs so i had to take care of the the sun website problem then installing the java ..

i downloaded
jre-1_5_0_06-linux-i586.bin

and installed it as i know //the problem installing it, is not the extracting part but the two commands that u wrote me//

and u gave me the commands that i meant to be the hard part .. so thanx .

yeah .. i remember setting these two commands in somewhere ..but donut remember the file path ..

shall i set them at /etc/profile ?

gilead · 03-13-2006, 02:09 PM

Yep - putting them in /etc/profile will make them available to all your users.
