Which part are you having difficulties with?

I've downloaded the file......
where to put it now? at the document folder??
and..sorry... where to type the gunzip? i've tried at the x-terminal, but it sayw not such file,
and where to type the rest commands?

thanks, that what i ment when i've sais step by step
please share with me

If you downloaded the file and didn't choose a specific folder, you probably downloaded it to /home/user/MyDocs/

This page explains how to get root. You will need it to copy the file.

So:

1. Download the file. You need to know where you downloaded it!
2. Open a terminal.
3. Get root.
4. Go to the directory where you saved the file. Assuming you just saved it to the default folder, you type:
   
   Code:

   cd /home/user/MyDocs/.documents

   (thanks Brontide!)
   
5. Unzip the file. Type:
   
   Code:

   gunzip liboscar.so.0.0.0.gz

   You can cheat and hit the Tab key after typing "libo" and it will fill in the rest. If it doesn't you're probably not in the right directory.
   
6. Copy the file to the correct directory. Type:
   
   Code:

   cp liboscar.so.0.0.0 /usr/lib/purple-2/

   Again, if you hit Tab after typing a few letters and it completes the file name, you're doing it right.

Thankyou,
I did got the gainroot (sudo gainroot)
and i've saved the file at the default documents foldet,
but, although i cd to this directory,
is says.there is not such file when i try gunzip it...
how to solv that?

try

It brings me to the same documents folder (were i've seved the liboscar file(
but it still says, there is not such file...

This is what is written there;

Excuse me, jumped in late on this one, but how far from being finished is this built in messenger from being finished and available for us non admin types?

Try downloading again, but this time click and hold on the link, then select Save Target As...
From this screen you might want to change the location to somewhere that's easier to find.

You've put a space between "/home/user/MyDocs/" and ".documents/". There shouldn't be one.
