I tried to install gaim-0.79-vv-3 and gnext 1.0.3. Both these programs
are supposed to have video and audio capabilities working between Linux
and Windows users. Unfortunately, there was always some library missing
and after hours of searching Google and triying, still I couldn't get them
to work.
You see, on Windows it's quite easy to use MSN or a similar program as a
free way to communicate with friends and family leaving in different
countries or cities. I would like to be able to do that same thing under
Linux.
Thanks in advance if you have any suggestions.
