Gaim problems in Ubuntu


Recommended Posts

This might be specific to Ubuntu, which is why I posted it here.

 

Gaim is herendous - I have to try about five times before it will connect to MSN (if I'm lucky). Once connected it will just be a matter of time before it disconnects and it often crashes completely. To make matters worse, just under half of all my messages get bounced with a "The following message could not be delivered message" - although some of them still go through!

 

The Ubuntu repositories are still rocking an old version of gaim - although it doesn't seem to be giving everyone this amount of grief.

 

So I guess I should download a later version from gaim's site and compile it... but before I do that are there any other ideas for getting it working and staying up to date with apt? I've checked the Ubuntu forums, but haven't found any answers...
