Installing IP messenger in FEDORA OS


Steps to install IP messenger on Fedora terminal:-

tar -xzvf g2ipmsg-0.9.5.tar.gz

It is important to install the dependencies before we proceed.  On your terminal, as a root user, type:

yum install perl-XML-Parser libgnomeui-devel libpanelappletmm-devel gettext intltool

then type the following series of (familiar) commands to build and install ipmsg.

cd g2ipmsg-0.9.5

./configure --disable-applet

make

make install

then run it

g2ipmsg

You can download the IP messenger from following site:-

    Dear Meena,

    I could install the ipmsg... but when I run it, I get the following error message.
    Could you please help me solve it...!?


    (g2ipmsg:18393): GConf-WARNING **: Client failed to connect to the D-BUS daemon:
    Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken.
    Segmentation fault (core dumped)

    First of all run the command on terminal: service dbus start

    1) If you already haven't configured your normal user to be able to 'sudo pacman', do that.
    2) As normal user, remove the package that has been giving you the error like this:
    $ sudo pacman -Rdd $PACKAGE_GIVING_THE_ERROR
    3) Re-install the package (again, as normal user)
    $ sudo pacman -S $PACKAGE_GIVING_THE_ERROR
    or
    $ sudo pacman -S --asdeps $PACKAGE_GIVING_THE_ERROR
    depending on whether the package was previously installed explicitly or not.
    Re-installing should not give the error message any more.

    The root-user is not able to install the error-giving packages because environmental variable DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS has not been set for root user (or maybe it is incorrect).

    Thank you for your reply.

    I get an error message from the first command itself:
    $ service dbus start

    Redirecting to /bin/systemctl start dbus.service
    Failed to issue method call: Access denied

    I ran it as normal user.
    I want to install this messenger on Fedora 18.
