< p >
Welcome to Gajim and thank you for trying out our client.
< / p >
< h2 > Runtime Requirements< / h2 >
< ul >
< li > python2.4 or higher< / li >
< li > pygtk2.6 or higher< / li >
< li > python-libglade< / li >
< li > pysqlite2 (if you have python 2.5, you already have this)< / li >
< / ul >
< p >
< strong > Note to packagers< / strong >
Gajim is a GTK+ app that loves GNOME. You can do 'make' so you don't require gnomepythonextras (aka gnome-python-desktop) which is gnome dep, but you will miss gnomekeyring intergration.
< / p >
< h2 > Optional Runtime Requirements< / h2 >
< ul >
< li > dnsutils (or whatever package provides the nslookup binary) for SRV support; if you don't know what that is, you don't need it< / li >
< li > gtkspell and aspell-LANG where lang is your locale eg. en, fr etc< / li >
< li > GnomePythonExtras 2.10 or above (aka gnome-python-desktop) so you can avoid compiling trayicon and gtkspell< / li >
< li > gnome-python-desktop (for GnomeKeyring support)< / li >
< li > notification-daemon or notify-python (and D-Bus) to get cooler popups< / li >
< li > D-Bus to have gajim-remote working< / li >
< / ul >
< p >
Some distributions also split too much python standard library.
I know SUSE does. In such distros you also need python-xml
the xml lib that *comes* with python and not pyxml or whatever.
< / p >
< h2 > Compile-time Requirements< / h2 >
< ul >
< li > python-dev< / li >
< li > python-gtk2-dev< / li >
< li > libgtk2.0-dev aka. gtk2-devel< / li >
< li > libxss-dev (for idle detection module; some distributions such as Debian split xscreensaver)< / li >
< li > libgtkspell-dev (for the gtkspell module)< / li >
< li > intltool< / li >
< / ul >

If you still have problems compiling, you may want to try removing the gtk1 series of the above dependencies.

< p >
Just do < em > gajim< / em > or you can run Gajim from your GNOME/XFCE/KDE/whatever menus.< br / > < br / >
or if you didn't 'make install' you can also run from gajim folder with
< em > ./launch.sh< / em >
< / p >
< h2 > Uninstallation Procedure< / h2 >
< p >
su -c make uninstall< br / >
this will try to remove Gajim from the default directories.

< h2 > Miscellaneous< / h2 >
< h3 > XML & Debugging< / h3 >
< p >
If you want to see the xml stanzas and/or help us debugging
you're advised to enable verbose via advanced configuration window.
If you don't want to make this permanent, execute gajim with --verbose
everytime you want to have verbose output.
