a13x Posted February 19, 2005 Report Share Posted February 19, 2005 (edited) The title says it all. I'd like something like BORGChat or Vypress chat (at least). Edited February 20, 2005 by a13x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

a13x Posted February 19, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2005 I know about it but I can't get it to compile ..... it complains about qt libraries but I have qt installed. Anyway googling for chat software I found Akeni (www.akeni.com). It looks very promising but unfortunately it's not quite free. Does anybody know of an open-source or other free alternative to it ?

Steve Scrimpshire Posted February 19, 2005 Report Share Posted February 19, 2005 I can't answer your other question, but generally, when compiling and a program asks for a library, it is actually wanting the corresponding *-devel library, so make sure you have libqt-devel installed...may just be called qt-devel.

a13x Posted February 20, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2005 There was a bug in Vyqchat it seems. I wasn't able to compile it the usual way but it 'emerge vyqchat' did the trick. I'll stick with Vypress/Vyqchat for now .... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamw Posted February 21, 2005 Report Share Posted February 21, 2005 there's always gnomemeeting and netmeeting, too - netmeeting still works perfectly well even though MS don't distribute it any more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Sebi Posted February 23, 2005 Report Share Posted February 23, 2005 You can run BORGChat under WINE !! It's not fully working but you can talk with other people :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
