1Welcome and thanks for trying out Gajim.

3=RUNTIME REQUIREMENTS=
4python2.4 (python2.3 should work too)
5pygtk2.6 or higher
6python-libglade
7pysqlite2 (aka. python-pysqlite2)
8
9some distros also split too much python standard library.
10I know SUSE does. In such distros you also need python-xml
11the xml lib that *comes* with python and not pyxml or whatever
12
13=COMPILE-TIME REQUIREMENTS=
14python-dev
15python-gtk2-dev
16libgtk2.0-dev           # aka. gtk2-devel
17libxss-dev                      # for idle detection module (Some distributions (f.e. Debian) split xscreensaver)
18libgtkspell-dev # for gtkspell module
19intltool

21NOTE:
22if you still have problems compiling, you may want to try removing the gtk1 series of the above dependencies
23
24Optionally:
25dnspython or pydns for SRV support; if you don't know what that is, you don't need it
26gtkspell and aspell-LANG where lang is your locale eg. en, fr etc
27GnomePythonExtras 2.10 or above so you can avoid compiling trayicon and gtkspell
28
