Yes I posted on their help forum, they say create softlinks... it will work for fedora >= 12
I got it working. You have to cd to /usr/lib/ (even with the x64 plugin), and there create the symlinks - in my case for oS 11.2:
ln -s libssl.so.0.9.8 libssl.so.10 ln -s libcrypto.so.0.9.8 libcrypto.so.10
without that, FF loads the plugin, but not gmail, it refuses to use it.
I managed to connect (video) with two computers (two gmail accounts) in the same local network (this is impossible with Ekiga). Quite nice.
I removed the cron job LOL it goes in cron.daily not sure about the links either I used for firefox.... afaik it should be /usr/lib{arch}/browser-plugins
I didn't create any, the RPM does that part, I think.
The cronjob is a hack. It reads:
# This script is part of the google-talkplugin package. # # It creates the repository configuration file for package updates, since # we cannot do this during the google-talkplugin installation since the repository # is locked. # # This functionality can be controlled by creating the $DEFAULTS_FILE and # setting "repo_add_once" to "true" or "false" as desired. An empty # $DEFAULTS_FILE is the same as setting the value to "false".
I think it simply adds the repo to zypper/yast this way, in case the database was busy at the installation time and failed. This would only be "needed" if the rpm is installed directly.
It should be safe to remove, but I wonder if you update the rpm, if it will be recreated :-?
There is a mention of a config file:
DEFAULTS_FILE="/etc/default/google-talkplugin" which contains:
repo_add_once="false"
but it is not for impeding the cron job.
The thing is, once the repo is added, the cron job should be remove, its task is done. I think they forgot to do so.
