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 >

< 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.

< 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 >

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

Alternatively, if you don't want to install all these packages, you can get a nightly snapshot from < a href = "http://www.gajim.org/downloads/snap/" > here< / a > and procede as usual:
< pre >
$ ./configure
$ make
< / pre >

< h2 > Uninstallation Procedure< / h2 >
< p >
su -c make uninstall< br / >
this will try to remove Gajim from the default directories.
If you want to remove it from custom directory provide it as:< br / >
make PREFIX=custom_path uninstall

< 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.
