Re: Is there any program like ICQ ? Thanks ! ;)
Yup, try http://www.mirabilis.com
There is a linux version there for X, you also need to get the JDK.
use this method to install:
(I got this from the list early this year, I have not tried it, coz
I havent had time :) )
==================================================================
With some trial and error, I've been able to setup ICQ for multiple
users under Debian. The idea was to give each user an ~/.icq
directory where she can keep her personal configuration. In my
experience, if you use the installation directions which come with the
program, things will not work like you might expect.
What I did to get it working properly:
1) Install the Debian JDK.
2) Download the ICQ tar ball (http://www.icq.com/)
AS ROOT DO THE FOLLOWING:
3) cd /usr/local
4) tar -xzvf icqtarball.tgz
5) chown -R root.root ICQJava
6) cd /usr/local/ICQJava
7) Edit "install" and change the following:
1) uncomment JAVA_HOME
2) JAVA_HOME = /usr/lib/jdk1.1
3) ICQ_HOME = /usr/local/ICQJava
8) ./install
Note: This will create the file /usr/local/ICQJava/ICQ which
is the script you will want to run after making a few
more modifications.
9) Edit the "ICQ" file in (8) above by replacing the "-path"
parameter with "-path $HOME/.icq" . This will tell ICQ to use the
~/.icq directory for all of its needs -- including the user's
personal configuration. This and step 10 are the critical
changes.
AS THE USER DO THE FOLLOWING:
10) Now, you need to create the ~/.icq directory for each user:
1) mkdir ~/.icq
2) cd ~/.icq
3) mkdir conf
4) chmod 700 conf
5) ln -s /usr/local/ICQJava/Images
6) ln -s /usr/local/ICQJava/Sounds
AS ROOT DO THE FOLLOWING:
11) cd /usr/local/bin
12) ln -s ../ICQJava/ICQ icq
AS THE USER DO THE FOLLOWING:
13) run using "icq"
