I'm a proud new owner of an N900, installed Pidgin from extras and enabled extras-testing and extras-devel

Searched for facebookchat-plugin for pidgin and its nowhere to be found?
I tried downloading from the google code page and putting it in /usr/lib/pidgin and ~/.purple/plugins and it still doesn't appear - any ideas on what I might be doing wrong?

Cheers

Found this:
http://maemo.org/packages/package_in...1.60-1.1maemo0
But can't seem to get the deb file to install via x-term or in red pill mode.
also tried getting it from google code page and no luck.
would love to try and get this working cause can't seem to chat using the browser when connected to 3.5g

I don't have a N900 so i can't try it but I know it needs json-glib 0.7.6 or above. Its in extras-devel.


http://repository.maemo.org/extras-d...emo1_armel.deb

Install it and see if it works now.

Still no luck can't get it to install. Says incompatible package or something like that. I'll just have to wait till someone hopefully get round to making an app or something easier to install

You would need to install json-glib in xterm using dpkg -i. Once you have done that download latest plugin from

http://pidgin-facebookchat.googlecod...ookarm-1.64.so

and place in /usr/lib/purple-2/

should work after that.
