 |
|
Hello all.
So I have a couple of friends in Russia. And they use Mail.ru Agent as an instant messenger. I wanna to be able to talk with them on my Gentoo. But it's hard to google solution in english  and whilst I can read Russian, given I have time, I suck at writing in your language. So plz don't send me to google.
What can I use to talk with people on Mail.ru Agent?

Hi,
have you tried to install it under wine?
http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=15486
I know that the status is "garbage" but tests there are almost two years old...
well, there is another way
http://linuxopen.ru/2008/02/15/mail.ru-agent-v-linux.html
text is on russian but it ships with screenshots so it should be easy to install
and there described installation under debian based distro
if you unfamiliar with it - there is only one command to just install kopete - use emerge kopete in gentoo
cheers!

Well... Mail.ru agent not support Linux.
But you can use alternative clients with MRIM (mail.ru protocol) support - qutim (available in portage) and myagent-im  |

One thing that NEVER worked properly under wine for me is networking. So basically I can use it to run special software (like the one to create artificial holograms patterns) or play local games, but nothing more.
neocrust thank you, I'll try today
