Yahoo Msger with Web-cam view support

Does anyone know of any other client besides Gyach Enhanced that allows web-cam viewing using Yahoo Messenger?  I am unable to compile Gyach Enhanced and I have not found another client that supports this.  If you have been able to compile Gyach Enhanced on Arch could you please provide me the details?  Any help will be appreciated.

Thank you

Re: Yahoo Msger with Web-cam view support

I found http://gyachi.sourceforge.net/ and I attempting to compile, however, I receive the error:

checking for GTKHTML... configure: error: Package requirements (libgtkhtml-2.0 >= 2.0) were not met:

No package 'libgtkhtml-2.0' found

Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.

Alternatively, you may set the environment variables GTKHTML_CFLAGS
and GTKHTML_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.

I have libgtkhtml-2.6.3-2 and it seems to be located in /opt/gnome/include/gtkhtml-2.0/libgtkhtml .  Does anyone have any suggestions on getting this to compile or how to edit the PKG_CONFIG_PATH ?  I attempted GTKHTML_LIBS=/opt/gnome/include/gtkhtml-2.0/libgtkhtml  but I still receive the same error.

Thank you.

Re: Yahoo Msger with Web-cam view support

Do you have pkgconfig installed?

Re: Yahoo Msger with Web-cam view support

Does anyone have any suggestions on getting this to compile or how to edit the PKG_CONFIG_PATH ?  I attempted GTKHTML_LIBS=/opt/gnome/include/gtkhtml-2.0/libgtkhtml  but I still receive the same error.

do this in shell,

 > sudo pacman -S pkgconfig
 > export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/opt/gnome/lib/pkgconfig:$PKG_CONFIG_PATH

Note that i have no affiliation with default arch gnome,
I am very proud of my arch with garnome.

Re: Yahoo Msger with Web-cam view support

I did as you suggested and I am still receiving the same error as well on a second program I am attempting to compile:
checking for GTKHTML... configure: error: Package requirements (libgtkhtml-2.0 >= 2.0) were not met:

pkgconfig-0.20-1 is installed as well as libgtkhtml-2.6.3-2

I also ran:   $ pkg-config libgtkhtml --modversion

and received the error:

Package libgtkhtml was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `libgtkhtml.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
No package 'libgtkhtml' found

I found libgtkhtml.pc on my system in /opt/gnome/lib/pkgconfig.  I also see the gtkhtml.h and gtkhtmlcontext.h in /opt/gnome/include/gtkhtml-2.0/libgtkhtml.

Your help and suggestions are appreciated.

Thank you.

Re: Yahoo Msger with Web-cam view support

I just tried ./configure on this, for curiosity's sake. I actually didn't have libgtkhtml installed (thought I did), and I got the same error as you. After installing it, I was able to configure it successfully.

I'm not sure if that helps you - I suppose you could try reinstalling libgtkhtml.

If you're really stuck, I can build it here, and upload the package somewhere for you.

Re: Yahoo Msger with Web-cam view support

That would be great if you could supply me the package though I am not sure where you send it except my email.  Do you have access to place it into the Extra packages for Arch?  If not the only other place would be to send it to my email address. 

I have tried reinstalling libgtkhtml and also uninstalling it from my Arch system and reinstalling it.  I am not sure what else to try.  All suggestions are welcome.

Thank you.

Re: Yahoo Msger with Web-cam view support

No, I don't have access to Extra (I'd need a promotion for that ), but we don't need to use email either.

Just download it here, and install it with pacman -A.

Let me know how it goes.

Re: Yahoo Msger with Web-cam view support

No problem - glad it worked out.

I'll put it in the AUR now, but you really should try to solve your build problem at some stage - I built that package as a one-off, and I won't be maintaining it, unless it gets a decent vote, in which case it will move to Community.
