How to use Rediff Bol in Linux ??

Hi !!!

Just right now, I'm able to connect my linux box to internet.

So, now I want to use Rediff Bol (bcoz I've most of the friends online there).
There is no version of Rediff Bol for Linux :-(

So, what to do?

I have Gaim 'n can use it for Yahoo! similarly can I configure it to use for Rediff Bol ???

Please help !!!!

what linux distro are u using?

u can try using wine...

I'm using Ubuntu 7.04

I think Rediff bol is unfortunately not supported yet in pidgin or any IM Clients.u can try wine or GIYF
*appdb.winehq.org/appview.php?iAppId=3345

Bol didn't work out for me on Wine. It just opened the border of the window, that's it. Give it a shot and please let us know if you could make it work.

I can't understand what u mean....

can u explain me please ???

I also searched on Crossover Compatibility List. But Rediff Bol is NOT listed there :-(

^ but it runs mostly on cross over!

ok. I'll try tomorrow. (as I don't have BroadBand here, I've to download it from college :-(

) How nice, INDIA celebrating BroadBand Year :X

is there any way to use Gaim instead of Rediff Bol ??

gaim is now pidgin and no-rediffbol support :-\

Now, I'm able to install Rediff Bol with help of wine.
I'm also able to log in.

But now, the problem is I can't CHAT. When I type some message, as soon as I hit send, it doen't get displayed on screen. & I can't see messages from friends also. :-(

Try crossover office.They have a 30 day trial version download.Try if it works with that.Or use wine

same problem with CrossOver Office. can't display text in chat window! :-(

I think it's happening bcoz it needs FLASH & flash is in Restricted packages.
isn't it ???

dont u know that u can install win32-firefox and flash9/shock etc for windows via wine or crossover?

try

But what is the use of Installing Windows Firefox instead of Linux's own Firefox??

then can someone write a plugin for it here ????

yes,pidigin needs to have rediff bol support and it is pity that no indian yet had wrote a plugin

ofcorz this IM is a "never heard" for Other people.
I am not a script writer

,but u can ask for support by chatting on IRC with pidign developers directly.hopefully they can help finding a plugin.

FINDING ??? :-O means it exists ??? I don't think so. :-(

or u mean DEVELOP ????

they need to write a plugin

I have to ask them.

can u suggest a good Server on IRC to ask for?

IRC?:
*irc.netsplit.de/channels/details.php?room=#pidgin&net=freenode
but u can ask,in mailing lists run by pidgin community-
*pidgin.im/listinfo.html

*developer.pidgin.im/wiki/PlainTextPasswords

^^^ thanx

irc.freenode.net
channel #pidgin for windows users #winpidgin

Shouldnt that be pidgin?

It's fairly easy to reverse engineer RBol's protocol and implement a client. I've been working on it in my free time. See my blog.
Unfortunately I haven't been able to find time to work on that now. I'm planning to start a sourceforge site for the same. Meanwhile if anybody is interested in the source code v0.0.1 (GPL) , please contact me (binu_paul at hotmail.com)

okkk....

Let's try this way !!!

any news abt this ??? any developement ??

I've e-mailed him a lot... But he only told that he has source code on his home machine & he is out of home for "some" days....

No reply then...... Still waiting for his reply.... Even no updates on his blog... :-(

Isnt rediff bol integrated into the mail account?
You can use it.Its better than running rediff bol on wine.

ray

^^.. nah... I never came across INTEGRATED Rediff Bol..
Is it exist ???

BTW, wine can't run Rediff Bol :-(

Thats why the discussion is going on here...

Yes it is integrated.I just checked with my account.
There's an integrated chat client just like GMail.

ray

Thanks for sharing then...

Let me check now...

Sorry for bumping up, I just came across *rediffbol-prpl.sourceforge.net/ on a LUG list. Maybe someone can try it out.

Thanks for the link Mehul ....
