Twitter on FreeBSD
In an effort to try any to use twitter on PC-BSD I tried to install the Echofon firefox add on located here: http://www.echofon.com/twitter/firefox I tripped over an error and it wants OAuth installed. I am aware that @twitter just switched to OAuth recently and I am unaware of what port in FreeBSD enables OAuth. Located here is my screen shot of the error message: http://www.puffybsd.com/weeddude/echofon.png I am running PC-BSD 8.1 amd64 and I am using FireFox 3.6.8 (Installed from pbi) Cheerio!

Michael -- Thanks, Michael Rusch rus...@gmail.com twitter - @weeddude Michael, OAuth is a protocol built on top of standard http traffic. It's likely that your version of firefox lacks the code necessary to negotiate the various consumer, signer transactions. The operating system has nothing to do with OAuth itself as it occurs completely within the application. Unfortunately I've only worked with it within custom php apps so I can not point you further inside of firefox and the echofon add-on. You could try a few other add-ons like twitbin for instance. According to this site (http://bit.ly/czRpwx) twitfox should work.

Twitter On FreeBSD
Yes, I'm still having issues. qwit is a joke. I can post just fine but it will not retrieve my feeds for local display. Kind of makes it useless. Twitux won't connect. The others seem to be command line clients (the Pidgin Twitter plugin doesn't work, either) which I am not looking for. Does anyone have a good, GUI (preferably GTK based but that is flexible) client they use on a regular basis? I'd use Tweetdeck but AIR chokes because the libxml2 version it needs isn't found (though I do believe I have it installed, couldn't find AIR in ports so this is a Linux binary downloaded from Adobe's site (figured I'd give it a whirl), they do not provide Linux support): ./AdobeAIRInstaller.bin Error loading the runtime (libxml2.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory) Please help. -- Yours In Christ, PIT Emails are not formal business letters, whatever businesses may want.

Re: Twitter On FreeBSD
Now it's not detecting gnome-keyring (it's a requirement, and it is installed). Seriously, does anyone have a good Twitter client they use? I have very simple requirements (GUI, must be able to pull my feeds for local display, easy to compile (e.g. doesn't require anything from KDE)). If not, does anyone know anything about Pino? I've found it in one of my many searches of the web for something I can use that actually works. -- Yours In Christ, PIT Emails are not formal business letters, whatever businesses may want.
