Just pull the missing libraries from the bora repos.
With default Chinook repositories I'm missing libbz2-1.0 and libgdm3.

Can anyone recommend a good, stable Jabber server that I could run at home, which supports MSN and Yahoo, so that I can use the in-built client. Preferably one which won't take much more effort than installing pidgin would, because I'm lazy 
Also, does/can Jabber work over port 80, so that I can use it from locked-down networks?
Thanks

I already run web, mail and asterisk servers, so adding a jabber server won't be an issue. I just don't want to spend ages trying to get something working that doesn't offer me any real advantage over pidgin, hence the desire for something straightforward. Even better would be if I can "yum install" it

Check out Openfire:http://www.igniterealtime.org/projec...fire/index.jsp
Works great for me with FC7 installed from their RPM. Then you can just add the IM Gateway plugin via the Openfire Web Admin and even add your other services there.
JabberD is available via Yum, but I had trouble with it and the N800 using TLS. Openfire worked perfectly and is much more flexible. (And has a very nice web admin to manage it)
You can change the port numbers, but would obviously have to do that client side also.

Thanks moonshine, I'll give opernfire a go. I am indeed running linux, the nearest I get to windows on any of my machines is an instance of vmplayer for connecting to my work vpn. My server runs Centos, so there is little real difference between that and FC7.
If I can get it to run over 443 hopefully I can get through my work firewall too

Just had a quick look at openfire, and it looks like it'll do what I want. Even better, it's Java based (I'm a Java developer) so I can hack at it easily

Now if I could just find *one* PC Jabber client that supports "jingle-video". I swear the N800 is leading the world in that category.

moonshine, what are your settings for openfire? I have installed the server and created a user, but I can't connect from the n800. I downloaded Spark to try and that works fine. I even ran a tcpdump looking for data, but nothing comes in to the server from the n800, but it does from Spark.
thanks
thanks
I'm kind of interested in offering Jabber services specifically to tablet users as part of a larger tablet offering. As to when that might get off the ground... I haven't a clue. Money's tight at the moment... we'll see.
