I am trying to write a rails application where I can set the status of a person''s AIM account based on what they type in my site. So they should be able to browse to my site, and then type in their status (and username and password) into a textbox and press "Go" and it should change the status of their AIM account accordingly. How would I go about achieving this goal? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

As someone else suggested, rubpurple works but you might also want to look into Net::TOC. --Jeremy On Nov 25, 2007 2:51 AM, Nathan Esquenazi <rails-mailing-list-ARtvInVfO7ksV2N9l4h3zg@public.gmane.org> wrote:> > I am trying to write a rails application where I can set the status of a > person''s AIM account based on what they type in my site.

Thanks for your guys suggestions. I am going to give Ruburple a try because it supports multiple protocols. One thing is that I can''t find any documentation for it at all. Can someone point me to the rdoc or something? I need to make sure that I can actually set away / status messages using the library. Is this possible? Finally, I cannot figure out how to install it. I tried: gem install ruburple -y but it failed most likely because I don''t have the dependencies: libpurple 2.0.0 glib-2.0 pkg-config Can someone point me to a guide or explain simply how I can go about actually getting ruburple installed. I am on windows for development so please help if you can.
