Welcome and thanks for trying out Gajim.
Runtime Requirements:
python2.4 (python2.3 should work too)
pygtk2.6 (pytgtk 2.4 should work too)
python-libglade
Compile-time Requirements:
python-dev
libgtk2.0-dev (aka gtk2-devel)
libxss-dev (for idle detection module) [Debian splits xscreensaver hopefully your distro does not]
libgtkspell-dev (for gtkspell module)
Optionally:
gtkspell and aspell-LANG (where lang is your locale eg. en, fr etc)
dnspython (for SRV support; if you don't know what that is, you don't need it)
GnomePythonExtras 2.10 or above (so you can avoid compiling trayicon and gtkspell)
possible package name for your distro: python-gnome2-extras
INSTALL PROCEDURE
tar jxvf gajim-version.tar.bz2
cd gajim
make
make install # as superuser
RUN GAJIM
gajim
or if you didn't 'make install' you can also run from gajim folder with
./launch.sh
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
Enjoy!
