I run both yahoo's messenger and AOL's at the same time with GAIM. If you are running gnome do this: # cd /usr/ports/net/gaim # make && make install && make clean If you are running KDE see below: Is it possible to run GAIM (from ports) without getting Gnome, panel and everything that is gnome started? I'm using KDE as my desktop, so having all these panels are a bit annoying... # cd /usr/ports/net/gaim # make WITHOUT_GNOME=1 install Always look to the ports first when installing software. You may also want to check and learn to use portupgrade as you continue on. Good luck, Jim --============_-1197096116==_ma============ Content-Type: text/html; charset="us-ascii" <!doctype html public "-//W3C//DTD W3 HTML//EN"> <html><head><style type="text/css"><!-- blockquote, dl, ul, ol, li { padding-top: 0 ; padding-bottom: 0 } --></style><title>Re: AIM</title></head><body> <div>At 6:33 PM -0500 3/1/02, Mike Stacy wrote:</div> <blockquote type="cite" cite><font face="Arial" size="-1">Hi, I'm new to freeBSD and I need some help, I'm trying to install "AIM"on my freeBSD box, I downloaded the file onto my box, and that's as far as I could get, can anyone help me on what to do after that......</font></blockquote> <blockquote type="cite" cite><a href="http://www.aim.com/get_aim/linux/latest_linux.adp?aolperm=h#tgz2" ><font face="Arial" size="-1" >http://www.aim.com/get_aim/linux/latest_linux.adp?aolperm=h#tgz2</font ></a></blockquote> <blockquote type="cite" cite> </blockquote> <blockquote type="cite" cite> </blockquote> <blockquote type="cite" cite> </blockquote> <blockquote type="cite" cite> </blockquote> <blockquote type="cite" cite><font face="Arial" size="-1" > <span ></span> -Mike</font></blockquote> <div><br></div> <div>I use and really like gaim.
