More precisely, I've heard people (some linux folks) claimed that Gaim can communicate with Windows's MSN messenger. I tried configure Gaim but only see 3 options: TOC or AIM/ICQ. No option to communicate with MSN messenger. I am new to linux. If you know how to configure it, please help. Thanks.

Spiderman, I don't have libmsn. Where can I obtain it?
Lee, I download and compiled amsn, it works great under mandrake 9.0 but not under RH 8.0. It asks for a tcl/tk interpreter.
I've been to http://tcl.sourceforge.net but didn't know what file i suppose to download. Is it tk tracker? Or is it some other files? It is never clear to newbies like me. It's either that I am too dumb or that linux's secrecies are well concealed. Any help that lead to light is appreciated.

Summary: You might want to try to use wine. I know it works great for AIM so it might just work for MSN Messenger. As for an actual version ported for Linux, that's doubtful as it is a M$ product. You could tr...
