Hello I went to the link www.freashmeat.net and i was shocked to see some content regaurding "pr0n" the correct link I believe is www.freshmeat.net just thought that I should enlighten you ;) and thnx for the help because i was looking for a program that I could use to chat with my Buddies on my msn account while I was not on PoopyWindows.

I want to use msn messenger in mandrake 8.1, what should i do?

is there a version of msn messenger for linux redhat 7.2? if yes.where can i get it?and how can i install it?

Your best bet is to install everybuddy (from everybuddy.com) It unifies all messenger services, Has worked great for me.

everybuddy doesn't work since the new version (4.5) of msn came out

please i need latest msn messenger

please help me install msn messanger to linux 8.1 thank's

I installed the ccmsn messenger found at http://messenger.compucreations.com. It seems to work okay. Unfortunately, Microsoft doesn't make any thing for Linux. Linux goes against everything Microsoft knows about business.

Thanks everyone! I just downloaded CCMSN (http://messenger.compucreations.com) and it works great! Thanks for all the tips! Erik

hi there, I'm Elyas Nordin n currently running WinLinux2001. I'm really new in Linux. I have the problem in installing the ccmsn since it is in compressed file. I had uncompressed the file.. however the files are in .exe files, can somebody tell me how to install the ccmsn in my WinLinux ?? pleaseeeee.. someoneee help me... I'm really desperate..... thanx..

can someone teach me to compile this thing in linux PLESEEEEEEEEE cuz I'm totally new with linux n i don't know who to tirn onto with learning this linux.

Go to the site below and download the "TAR/GZ File(30KBytes) - requires WISH - version 0.3p3". Then type gunzip TAR/GZ_file | tar xvf filename.tar http://messenger.compucreations.com I hope this will help you. Cheers

can anybody help me what is WISH - version 0.3p3

but it mentions something like this tar: This does not look like a tar archive tar: Skipping to next header tar: 428 garbage bytes ignored at end of archive tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors what do I have to do to fix this error??

Elyas, that error means that you probably downloaded the wrong file, be sure to get the tar.gz file then run "tar -xvzf ccmsn-0.3p3.tar.gz" keep in mind that you can replace the ccmsn with another name of a file that is tar.gz . then all you should have to do is type "./ccmsn" everything should run fine. elyas, to compile somthing, look around in the directory using the "ls" command. first, you should probably move things around into seperate directories if they are not already there. if you want to make a new directory type "mkdir [the name of hte dir]" to move files into it type "mv (the file name) (the folder)" here is an example. [root@localhost home]$ mkdir mp3s [root@localhost home]$ mv *.mp3 /mp3s to install, sometimes there is an INSTALL file that can help you walk through the process. you can type "gvim INSTALL" i am guessing that have gvim, if not, just use your favorite editor. if there is no INSTALL file to help you, and you need to compile a "*.c" file, then try typing "gcc (file name)" sometimes it will spit out errors that you are missing a file. Most programs that you will probably use will come with an INSTALL file. good luck. you can e-mail me and I can try to help you out with anything.

Hi, I am a novice in linux. I need msn messenger for my linux machine. I have downloaded and installed lmme (from sourceforge.net). but cannot seem to get the messenger working. There is no help available. I am shown logged off, and am not able to operate. somebody, please help... thanks anita

hello everyone, i'm a newbie, and i'm running mandrake 8.1. i downloaded the ccmsn, but i'm having problems. i have ccmsn on my desktop, and i used the wish command to open it up. I see a few files there, but nothing on how to install it. i tried to use the konsole, and i type ./ccmsn the response was that i have a bad interpreter and permission was denied. can someone please please help me to get msn messenger up and running. thanks, hannism2000

Hi all. Right. Download the ccmsn tar.gz file (or as in my case it was a .tgz), cd to that directory in console, type 'tar -xvzf ccmsn-0.3p3.tar.gz' (.tgz) then type 'cd ccmsn-0.3p3', and finally simply type 'wish ccmsn' to run it. This worked for me no problems, and I am running Red Hat 7.2 - Gnome. If you need any more help post back Laters David

HI all. I've been looking for an MSN messaging program for Linux for a while. Tried a couple but they didn't work. Just downloaded CCMSN untarred it and started it with "wish ccmsn" according to David's instructions in Response Number 25 and it worked perfectly. I signed into MSN and it loaded my contact list instantly! I'm running Mandrake 7.2 by the way. Thanx all for pointing me to CCMSN!

FYI, ccmsn works fine on Mandrake Linux 8.1 also. I'm using KDE and the widgets are old-school, but who cares. It's functional and that's all I wanted. :)

I had uninstalled my winlinux n i instlaeed mandrake n i dload the ccmsn n works great........ thanx everyone !!!!!!! hope i can share more about stuffs in linux

hi, i' m a nocvice with linux, i'm using KDE, and when i typed wish ccmsn i got the following error: Error in startup script: bad option "map": must be compare, first, index, last, length, match, range, tolower, toupper, trim, trimleft, trimright, wordend, or wordstart while executing "string map $map $md5body" (in namespace eval "::md5" script line 65) invoked from within "namespace eval ::md5 { #proc md5pure::F {x y z} {expr {(($x & $y) | ((~$x) & $z))}} regsub -all {\[ *F +(\$.) +(\$.) +(\$.) *\]} $md5body {((\1 \& \..." invoked from within "if {![catch {package require Trf 2.0}]} { # Trf is available, so implement the functionality provided here # in terms of calls to Trf for spee..." (file "migmd5.tcl" line 28) invoked from within "source migmd5.tcl" (file "ccmsn" line 27) can anybody help?

i use ccmsn and imici messengers, but i try to install kmerlin this is a msn mssenger for KDE desktop, download the RPM file and isntall but dont create the ejecutable file. can someone tell me what happend ? i have a Linux-Mandrake 8.1.

So true, CCMSN is the that work for me. I've tried EVERYBUDDY and JABBER but didn't work at all (always error on compilation). And it feel like the same, except for the Graphic but if i could make you chat with your msn buddies, you should a least try it

ccmsn works for me http://messenger.compucreations.com I've tried hundreds of msn messngers and this one seems to be the best and without a question the easiest. Note: I had to adjust the correct path in ccmsn (pico ccmsn) to get it to run in my windows manager (location for I map and the tcl script)

HI, I am new to Linux- am running MAndrake 8.1... I want to create a desktop icon to start CCMSN. BUt because I have to type 'cd ccmsn-0.3p3' and then I must type 'wish ccmsn' I am having a hard time. How do I do this?

FYI the program works on Slackware 8 running kde. Good luck

ccmsn is working great for me... I've tried all the other i.e. imici, gabber, everybuddy... but to be brutally honest I like ccmsn the best :) (that could just be because it's the only one that worked ... )

ccmsn works for mandrake but it does not seem to do the same for redhat. could anyone tell me why?

After having typed "wish ccmsn" I got the same problem that reponse number 29. Can anyone help me?

install msn messanger on linuxmachine.

Well, it's great. I'm using Linux (Redhat-7.2) for a week now. And start to forget how the other OS from redmont was called :) great work!!

Does anyone know if there is an update avaible for CCMSN, because if somebody loging in with an name with specail charaters then the program hangs. Greetings from holland Eric van der Helm
