RHEL 4 , Gaim and Lotus Sametime

Couple weeks back I wanted to access the lotus sametime service from Gaim. Since gaim support so many protocols(chat related), I thought this too was just a matter of putting the server info in the account creation dialogue. It was a Redhat box with enterprise 4 Update 1 , so the gaim version was something like gaim-1.2.1-6 It didn't have a protocol that I could use to connect to a sametime server. I googled a little and found out that there is a project called Meanwhile which works exactly on what I've been looking for. What I did in short, * downloading meanwhile, gaim-meanwhile sources from the meanwhile home. * downloading gaim 1.5 sources from the Gaim home. * building and installing. It worked fine. The integration is seamless, seamless enough to attract few fellows to gaim , who're actually Lotus Domino techies. But one thing though.. I tried to do the same thing in my fedora 3 box, but after compiling and installing the new protocol didn't show up in there. It was that simple, and was fun. I'll list down the sites that I had to go in ... to whoever might be interested. * Gaim home http://gaim.sourceforge.net * Meanwhile home http://meanwhile.sourceforge.net Just another bunch of cool free'n opensource stuff. This is great guys.. keep doing what you're doing. My hat is off to all of you, opensource people.
