voice chat in centos 5.4 64 bit

[iinfi1]

is there any utility which supports voice chat on centos 5.4 64 bit edition.
i have heard of empathy but have not been able to find a suitable repository for the same.
can someone please help me. or sud it be built from tarballs? just the rpm requires several dependencies!

thanks and wish you all a happy new year

You can try ekiga from one of the FreshRPM mirrors.

thanks

well .. but i needed something to connect to gtalk users. i v heard empathy does but i cant find a rpm repo for that.. :(

can't find a package for RHEL5. best thing to do is use a src.rpm from fedora and compile on for RHEL5 (it should work), but i'm suspecting a lot of work for this.

if this is your desktop, perhaps you need to switch to a more desktop oriented distro like fedora or ubuntu, they have empathy included.

Shalom,

start out with firefox. It supports most gtalk features pretty well.

hi
thanks for your replies.
well since i dont get machines often to practice things at our office lab i purchased a athlon x4 620 with 6GB RAM. we are basically solution providers n i m a budding system integrator. :)
so i have installed centos 64 bit on the base and install OSes on VMWare workstation or Xen to test out stuff and understand OSs and products..

but at the same time @ home i need gtalk to keep in touch with family n friends, hence needed voice chat in gtalk.

compiling from the .src.rpm. i v not done it before. cud be a good weekend project. thank you for all ur help.
