Equivalent to Gtalk?

[yuva]

Is there any voice chat program for linux similar to gtalk on windows??

I dont know gtalk.
But I think you want Festival?
Google for Festival and tell us if that was what you were looking for.
It makes the PC "talk"

I dont need want my pc to talk.I want a voice chat program like yahoo messenger voice chat ....

[RobinVossen]

Oh, sorry.
Ah there are a lot, like Skype and stuff.
I thought Gaim (now Pidgin) also supports Google Talk.
Look into this: http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/lin...s-windows.html

In the link given by you didnt mention anything about voice chat programs...they are simple chat programs I think...If wrong correct me..
Thanks..

[RobinVossen]

heh I am so sorry.. Well Pidgin supports:

* .NET Messenger Service (a.k.a. MSN)
* OSCAR (AIM/ICQ/.Mac)
* XMPP (Jabber, Google Talk)
* Gadu-Gadu
* Internet Relay Chat
* MySpaceIM
* Novell GroupWise
* OpenNAP
* SILC
* Yahoo!
* Zephyr
* Lotus Sametime (previously supported by the third party gaim-meanwhile plugin)
* QQ (previously supported by the third-party OpenQ plugin)
* Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) (at the moment only with chat function)

And well it does support google talk so is that what you are looking for?

yaa i know that pidgin works for google talk..But i donno whether its supports voice chat or not (I mean whatever i speak from my microphone should be audible to the person whom i am chatting with) ..

One more thing I went to pidgin homepage and there its given that pidgin for fedora and no packages are kept for suse...Then how to get packages for suse..

Thanks
