<p><em>Important:</em> This is not the official Everybuddy page. The
official Everybuddy page is at
<a href="http://www.everybuddy.com/">Everybuddy.com</a>. If you have any
problems with Everybuddy, don't contact me — instead, go to the
Everybuddy web site, join the mailing list and ask there.</p>

Everybuddy is designed to become a Universal Instant Messaging client, seamlessly
integrating all existing Instant Messaging clients and providing a single consistant
user interface. Currently, Everybuddy supports sending and receiving messages through
AOL, ICQ, Yahoo, MSN, Jabber and IRC.

<p>
Here you can download recently updated Everybuddy binaries and source
code. It should be fresh from CVS within the last week or so. RPMs are
built on a Pentium Celeron, running Linux Mandrake 8.1. Builds that have
a version <em>X.Y.Z</em> are stable releases. Builds that have a version
number <em>X.Y.Zcvs</em> are development releases based on <em>X.Y.Z</em>.
</p>
<p><em>Note:</em> I'm no longer providing tarballs — there's no point. Colin
Leroy is providing <a href="http://colin.leroy.free.fr/">nightly tarballs</a> now.
Also, if the worst comes to the worst, you can easily extract the source tarball
from the source RPM.</p>

<p><em>*</em> These RPMs were built using <span class="software">gcc 3.1</span>.
If you don't have <span class="software">gcc 3.1</span>, you will need to
install its libraries. If this sounds like too much work, try a different RPM.</p>
<h2>Red Hat 7.2+</h2>
<p>If you're running a 32-bit Intel or AMD processor, then you can download and install the binary RPM from above. If you use a PowerPC or other processor, then download the source RPM instead.</p>
<h2>Red Hat 7.1</h2>
<p>This is the same as newer Red Hat, but the RPM will need a little bit of persuasion to install!</p>
<pre><kbd>su
ln -s /usr/lib/libltdl.so /usr/lib/libltdl.so.3
rpm -Uvh --nodeps everybuddy-VERSION.i586.rpm</kbd></pre>
<h2>Mandrake 7.1+</h2>
<p>Pentium users can install the binary RPM as usual. Other users will probably have to compile from the source RPM.</p>
<p>The main RPM will not add an Everybuddy entry to your menu. To create the menu entry, download and install the <span class="/Software">everybuddy-mandrake</span> package.</p>
<h2>Debian</h2>
<p>Debian users can find recent builds of Everybuddy in the <a href="http://packages.debian.org/unstable/x11/everybuddy.html">"unstable" branch</a>.</p>
<h2>Sun Solaris</h2>
<p>Thanks to Canadian Alex, here are some <a href="/Software/solaris8/everybuddy-0.4.2-solaris-sparc.tar.gz">experimental binaries</a> for Solaris 8 (Sparc). To install it, as root:</p>
<pre><kbd>tar -zxf everybuddy-0.4.2-solaris-sparc.tar.gz
cd everybuddy-0.4.2-solaris-sparc
./install.sh</kbd></pre>
<p>Also, Sean has a <a href="http://www.shadypeople.org/">"proper" Solaris package</a>.</p>
<h2>Other Linux or Unix</h2>
<p>You might be able to follow the instructions for Red Hat, Mandrake or Debian, but otherwise compile the source code using the instructions on the <a href="http://www.everybuddy.com/">Everybuddy website</a>.</p>
<h2>Mac OS X</h2>
<p>The official <a href="http://www.everybuddy.com/">Everybuddy website</a> has some (slightly old) binaries courtesy of the Fink project.</p>
<h2>Windows</h2>
<p>Sorry, Everybuddy is not available for Windows. Of course, you are free to port it!</p>
