I just bought a new Nokia 770 used and I want to upgrade it? But it just cant find the device on the computer. So I tried on an other computer still no luck. I also want Gaim but I cant get it because of my software. It just says; Unable to install. Package is incompatible with current software.

I got the version 1.2006.26-8 ? Is that the newest one? I have Microsoft .NET 2.0 framework. I have tried reinstall and install Nokia 770 Software Update Wizard but still no luck? Anybody that can help me??

Nokia OS 1.2006.26-8 is the latest, beyond this there is no latest. Not as of yet. Now the Gaim that you got, is probably the one that could be used with the earlier OS version ( 2005). Older versions of various software are not compatible with the present Nokia OS 1.2006.26-8.
The Gaim that actually works is available here :-

http://maemo-hackers.org/apt/

There are step by step procedures, as of how to install and use it, mentioned in various Posts here in this Forum.

I posted the following on this forum once before.


After installing GAIM, you need to install the specific protocol that will allow you to use GAIM with Yahoo or MSN or ICQ etc. To use MSN IM you will need ' maemo-gaim-protocol-msn '. Each kind of IM has and needs its own protocol to work. You need to download and install these for GAIM to work.

I use Yahoo IM, so I downloaded and installed :

" maemo-gaim-protocol-yahoo".
" libgpg-error0 " ,
" maemo-gaim-data ",
" libgcrypt11 ",

Hope this helps.

Go to this website

http://developer.berlios.de/projects/maemo-gaim/

or

http://maemo-hackers.org/apt/pool/main/m/maemo-gaim/

to get ' gaim '. That is

" maemo-gaim-data ",

and the Protocols you want to use with the IM that you need to use.

Then, go to

http://downloads.kernelconcepts.de/m.../binary-armel/

to get

" libgpg-error0 " ,

" libgcrypt11 ",


You can click on the above links directly to reach the websites to download the files you need.

Hope this helps.

You did not mention if you got the" maemo-gaim-data " You need that too.

Now you have to use the Application Installer of Nokia 770 to install all these in the right way and order. There is information as to how to figure this out in one of the earlier posts. Please follow that.

If you search and look up ' gaim ' in this forum and read the details within various posts as to how to configure it further it will help you a lot.

You will need to be online (WLAN or otherwise ) to use this. Depending on the IM that you want to use, you need to configure it to use your IM Id and Password etc.

I downloaded ;

"libgpg-error0"

"libgcrypt11"

"maemo-gaim-data"

I installed the programs like this. First "libgpg-error0" and last "maemo-gaim-data". Is that the right way?

And I will try to look in the other threads again. Thank you!

As long as you have all these files in your Nokia 770, I do not think that there should be any problem. Once you have installed all these files and configured your User Id ( in your chosen IM) and Password etc. then you are all set. You may have to muck around some more with it to get it working properly. After this when you open the 'Extras' Folder, you will see ' Gaim Internet Messenger ' there. Thats it, you are done. You can now use your chosen IM ( within Gaim, depending on the protocols that you downloaded ) as you wish.

Have fun.
