I want to use Pidgin on my local network between windows, mac and Ubuntu machines.
As pidgin supports Bonjour, this would be perfect, except that some of my windows machines are 64 bit. The advice to also install the 32 bit version of Bonjour is impossible to follow, as the Apple site with Bonjour only has the single install file which does not ask what version to install but simple installs as it sees fit. http://support.apple.com/kb/DL999 I did finally find a 32 bit bonjour.msi (via a download of FileMaker Pro - which has separate 32 and 64 bit versions of bonjour included) but that wouldn't install either (saying I need to install the 64 bit version). I've seen various mentions that not 64 bit version of pidgin is needed, but given that it is impossible to install a 32 bit of bonjour on a 64 bit windows machine, I don't understand how to follow the advice given here. https://developer.pidgin.im/wiki/Protocol%20Specific%20Questions#CanIuseWind owsPidginforBonjour http://pidgin.im/pipermail/support/2009-October/019104.html So how do I manage to find a 32 bit version of bonjour to install on my 64 bit windows 7 machines so I can get pidgin to work with bonjour. I've never used a forum or asked for help, so don't really understand the protocol. Hope this method works. Thank you so much for your help, Mark
