In the ebuild description for this package it says:
Quote:
Description: A ncurses ICQ/Yahoo!/MSN/IRC/Jabber Client


But I can't figure out where to configure my msn account. Also the homepage of centericq doesn't mention the msn protocol at all. From the homepage
http://konst.org.ua/centericq/ :
Quote:
ICQ, Yahoo!, AIM, IRC and Jabber are supported


But in several threads here in the forum, peoble say they use centericq as their msn client.

Can someone tell me how to use centericq as msn client?

the default ebuild doesn't support msn, you need a patched client for msn support. there's a patched ebuild on bugzilla.

https://bugs.gentoo.org/attachment.cgi?id=21182&action=view

the patched ebuild is kind of a crapshoot, it only works have the time for me on msn. since msn changed their protocol, support has been kinda buggy.

HEllo,

I have tried to emerge the patch:

Code:
cp centericq-4.9.9.ebuild /usr/portage/download/centericq/
emerge centericq-4.9.9.ebuild


At one moment, emerge says:

Code:
08:43:56 (50.37 KB/s) - « /usr/portage/distfiles/centericq-4.9.9.tar.gz » sauvegardé [1388747/1388747]

--- No package manifest found: /usr/portage/download/centericq/Manifest
!!! No package digest file found: /usr/portage/download/centericq/files/digest-centericq-4.9.9
!!! Type "ebuild foo.ebuild digest" to generate it.


I have typed this:
Code:
# emerge centericq-4.9.9.ebuild digest
Calculating dependencies \
emerge: there are no masked or unmasked ebuilds to satisfy "digest".

!!! Error calculating dependencies. Please correct.


and tried that:
Code:
 emerge digest-centericq-4.9.9
Calculating dependencies   
emerge: there are no masked or unmasked ebuilds to satisfy "digest-centericq-4.9.9".

!!! Error calculating dependencies. Please correct.


But no success. Could anybody tell me how to install the MSN patch?
Thanks.

Get the new ebuild from the link posted above, save it as centericq-4.9.10.ebuild in /usr/portage/net-im/centericq/
delete the line: "epatch ${FILESDIR}/nls.patch" from the ebuild u created
type "ebuild /usr/portage/net-im/centericq/centericq-4.9.10.ebuild digest"
then you´re ready to:
emerge centericq

If emerge centericq doesn't work, you can do
Code:
ebuild /usr/portage/net-im/centericq/centericq-4.9.10.ebuild merge
.

If you get errors complaining about AM_PATH_LIBGNUTLS_EXTRA, you need to do
Code:
emerge gnutls

Hmm..., It does compile, but it's very unstable. It eats 100% CPU power and crashes randomly.

Good luck with it :)
