Gajim - Read Me

Gajim Read Me

Welcome to Gajim and thank you for trying out our client.

Runtime Requirements



  • python2.5 or higher

  • pygtk2.22 or higher

  • python-nbxmpp

Optional Runtime Requirements




  • PyOpenSSL (python-pyopenssl package in Debian) (>=0.12) for secure SSL/TLS. Python's default SSL is insecure, so this package is highly recommended!

  • python-pyasn1 to check SSL/TLS certificate

  • python-crypto to enable End to end encryption

  • python-gnupg to enable GPG encryption

  • For idle module, libxss library

  • For zeroconf (bonjour), the "enable link-local messaging" checkbox, you need dbus-glib, python-avahi

  • dnsutils (or whatever package provides the nslookup binary) for SRV support

  • gtkspell and aspell-LANG where lang is your locale eg. en, fr etc

  • gnome-python-desktop (for GnomeKeyring support as password storage)

  • kwalletcli (for support of KDE Wallet as password storage)

  • notification-daemon or notify-python (and D-Bus) to get cooler popups

  • D-Bus running to have gajim-remote working. Some distributions split dbus-x11, which is needed for dbus to work with Gajim. Version >= 0.80 is required.

  • python-dbus bindings (>=0.81)

  • python-kerberos to use GSSAPI authentification. Note: version1.1 or higher is required

Some distributions also split too much python standard library. I know SUSE does. In such distros you also need python-xml the xml lib that *comes* with python and not pyxml or whatever.

Compile-time Requirements



  • intltool (>= 0.40.1)

NOTE: If you still have problems compiling, you may want to try removing the gtk1 series of the above dependencies.

Installation Procedure



  1. tar jxvf gajim-version.tar.bz2

  2. cd gajim

  3. ./configure

  4. make (builds translations)

  5. su -c make install

To specify where to install do:



./configure --prefix=custom_path

Running Gajim


Just do gajim or you can run Gajim from your GNOME/Xfce/KDE/whatever menus.


or if you use hg version and you didn't 'make install' you can also run from gajim folder with./launch.sh




Note for hg users


You will need GNU autotools in order to install Gajim from svn. This includes:



  • automake >= 1.8

  • autoconf >= 2.59

  • libtool

  • intltool-0.40.1

  • pkgconfig >= 0.19


steps to compile gajim:



$ ./autogen.sh
$ ./configure
$ make

Alternatively, if you don't want to install all these packages, you can get a nightly snapshot from here and procede as usual:



$ ./configure
$ make

Uninstallation Procedure



su -c make uninstall

this will try to remove Gajim from the default directories.
If you want to remove it from custom directory provide it as:



./configure --prefix=custom_path
make uninstall

Miscellaneous


XML & Debugging


If you want to see the xml stanzas and/or help us debugging
you're advised to enable verbose via advanced configuration window.
If you don't want to make this permanent, execute gajim with --verbose
everytime you want to have verbose output.
