I've tried some but I can't find icq-like program that let me send and receive files. Do you use any that let you do it???
I like look of Gaim but that doesn't let me deal with files.

Licq. It is a bit flaky when connecting ICQ2002 users but is getting better. If you compile your own software get the "development" version. It is very stable, I use the latest builds all the time.

I have tried licq but my friend, who is using icq on windows, couldn't send files. I tried sim yesterday and while i could send a file i couldn't receive files. *sigh* maybe i'm not doing right... but dunno.

The CVS version of Gaim has support for files.

i checked centericq. according to info on their web, file transfer support is file transfer isn't listed under icq support... :(

GAIM supports file transfers on the old TOC protocol, although it might not be willing to initiate them (i.e. the remote user must request file by name).

so i started installing new CVS version of Gaim... dependency problem. I have gtk2.0 installed but need gtk2.2. Then to install gtk2.2 i need several others. while installing most of them went ok, i got problem installing pango, which is needed for gtk2.2. when installing pango, i got error that i need fontconfig, so i found fontconfig and tried to install. then i got following error message while "make":
cc -g -02 -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -DFONTCONFIG_PATH=\"\etc/font\" -I.. -I. -o fc-list fc-list.o -L../src -lfontconfig
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[1]: *** [fc-list] Error 1

i have no idea what lfontconfig so i went google and typed "lfontconfig" hoping to find download for it. Then I found only messages ppl are saying that they all are having same problem with lfontconfig while installing fontconfig for pango.
I dunno what i should.... :(
