gaim is notoriously fiddly.. here's exactly what you need to do.

1. Get a WLAN or other internet connection going from the Z.

2. Start Add/Remove programs

3. Select Install packages via networks

4. Tap the Switch button and create a new feed named gaim using the URL [a href=\"http://qpe-gaim.sourceforge.net/feed/release]http://qpe-gaim.sourceforge.net/feed/release[/url]

When you hit OK, if you don't see the packages go back, select the gaim entry (now in the Servers list) and hit OK again.

5. Install in this order..

libopie1
qpe-gaim

This will pull all the dependencies from the feed...

6. Install the libgaim-procotols that you need.

7. Close the installer.

8. DO NOT RUN YET. Start konsole and do the following..

mkdir Applications/.gaim
ln -s Applications/.gaim .gaim

9. Exit konsole, find the icon and using the stylus hold mechanism remove the 'Display with magnified screen option'.

Gaim should now run.

Other suggestions are...

a. Move to Network Tab using Tab settings.
b. Turn off Large Icons in preferences since the two lines of text used alongside the large icons look a bit ugly on the 3K.
c. Drop the feed if you don't need it any more.

Hope this helps,

- Andy

Everything works fine when I follow your directions, but whenever I try to receive a message from somebody using the oscar protocol I get a response of

(There was an error receiving this message)

Have you come across this? How can this be fixed?

Accessories / Best Bluetooth Cf Card For Sl-c3000

« on: December 19, 2004, 10:24:46 pm »

I just purchased an sl-c3000 and was wondering what the best bluetooth cf card for this device was?  I've heard that the socket bluetooth is good because it doesn't stick out from the device.  Is this true?  Which revisions work with the zaurus?
