redhat-as5安装pidgin过程详解

 http://pidgin.im/

What is Pidgin?

Pidgin is a multi-protocol Instant Messaging client that allows you to use all of your IM accounts at once.

Pidgin can work with:

• AIM
• Bonjour
• Gadu-Gadu
• Google Talk
• Groupwise
• ICQ

• IRC
• MSN
• MySpaceIM
• QQ
• SILC

• SIMPLE
• Sametime
• XMPP
• Yahoo!
• Zephyr

Pidgin is free software. It is licensed under the GNU General Public License (GPL) version 2. This means you are free to use it and to modify it, but if you distribute your modifications you must distribute the modified source code as well.

 具体介绍就不说了，主页上的一段，hoho：～

选择自己需要的版本吧：http://pidgin.im/download/centos_rhel/

我的是rhel5，下载*.repo文件之后可以按照说明一步步来吧：

To install Pidgin on CentOS 4 or 5, or RHEL 5, save the pidgin.repo file from above in /etc/yum.repos.d/

You can then use "yum install pidgin", or your favorite package manager, to install Pidgin

接下来就是你在安装过程中可能遇到的问题了（比如我的）：
[root@localhost ~]# cd /etc/yum.repos.d/
[root@localhost yum.repos.d]# yum install pidgin
Loading "installonlyn" plugin
Loading "rhnplugin" plugin

看到最后三行的error了吧（其实刚开始装的时候我的是4个error，第一个是缺少Error:Missing Dependency:***
具体什么记不请了，反正按照缺少组建google一下，直接可以找到相应的rpm包－－gtkspell-2.0.4-1.9.0.i386
没什么可说的了，rpm －ivh *.rpm吧
但是这个时候还可能遇到问题：
[root@localhost ~]# rpm -ivh gtkspell-2.0.4-1.9.0.i386.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
        libpspell.so.4 is needed by gtkspell-2.0.4-1.9.0.i386
没什么说的，继续google－－libpspell.so.4，还好这些东西都比较好找（一定要下载自己系统所需要的包文件）
我的是pspell-0.12.2-8.i386.rpm
继续安装：-rpm -ivh *.rpm
[root@localhost ~]# rpm -ivh --root -replacepkgs pspell-0.12.2-8.i386.rpm
warning: pspell-0.12.2-8.i386.rpm: Header V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID db42a60e
error: Failed dependencies:
        libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3 is needed by pspell-0.12.2-8.i386
呵呵，不要着急，就是要这样一步一步来，继续google－ libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3
下载compat-libstdc++-296-2.96-138.i386.rpm
rpm -ivh *.rpm
[root@localhost ~]# rpm -ivh compat-libstdc++-296-2.96-138.i386.rpmwarning: compat-libstdc++-296-2.96-138.i386.rpm: Header V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID 4f2a6fd2

呵呵，是不是轻松许多，终于可以。。。了：～
go on吧，依次安装所需要的
[root@localhost ~]# rpm -ivh pspell-0.12.2-8.i386.rpm
warning: pspell-0.12.2-8.i386.rpm: Header V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID db42a60e

至此，***.so的问题已经解决
再次执行

[root@localhost yum.repos.d]# yum install pidgin

呵呵，错误总算少了一个了（解决一个错误居然如此麻烦，呵呵，耐心，一定要耐心，谁让我们喜欢linux呢）
接下来要作的想必不必细说了吧，go on
在安装cyrus-sasl-md5的时候还是遇到了问题：
[root@localhost ~]# rpm -ivh cyrus-sasl-lib-2.1.22-6.i386.rpm
warning: cyrus-sasl-lib-2.1.22-6.i386.rpm: Header V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID 4f2a6fd2

明明已经安装了cyrus-sasl-lib = 2.1.22-6，可为何 cyrus-sasl-md5-2.1.22-6还是进行不下去呢？
郁闷中。。。
