I have downloaded the Facebook Chat plugin for pidgin on my PC and it is great. Is it possible to install it on pidgin on my N800? There is a linux plugin, it can be downloaded here

http://code.google.com/p/pidgin-facebookchat/

It would need to be re-compiled for arm.

(I use this too)

I've attempted to get this working but have been so far unsuccessful and I think i'll give up for now. the library compiled cleanly for me in scratchbox, but I was unable to get pidgin to come up in xephyr to test it.

I was unable to get pidgin on my n800 to see the library when I put in my /usr/lib/purple-2 directory. If anyone else wants to try i've put the .so here http://www.dpo.uab.edu/~rcloud/libfacebook.so

I hope one of you has better luck than me.

I put it in the /usr/lib/purple-2 directory as well, and like you no joy. Looks like we might have to wait till they put facebook chat on jabber, theres been no news on that for a couple of weeks

how did you try and compile it? did you use the libs from apt-get libpurple-dev or what? I had hard time getting those to work right so I had to download the headers and compile with them in the folder. dumb i kno :P

Sorry im not very hot with linux, I just downloaded the file and stuck it in the directory. On the "How to install" page it said to enter "sudo chmod +r /usr/lib/purple-2/libfacebook.so" in xterm but I still couldn't get it to work.

ahh ok. if you find a few spare minutes, try the file i posted. there might have been some issue with my python config. The file posted at the website was built for intel x86 processors like a workstation. we need a differently built file to run on our nokias.

Personally, I'd just wait for the jabber release of the facebook chat, but who knows how long that would take...
