How To Install XMemo (IPMsg Alternative) in Fedora Core 6 / Linux

XMemo is an alternative to IPMsg (for Windows only) and claims to interoperate with IPMSg protocol. In short a quick messaging tool for intranet use.

The standard procedure, which doesn’t work out of the box, to install it is to download the tar.gz file, uncompress it to a folder and execute the following:
./configure
make
make install

However that didn’t work. configure went fine but make failed. After much searching I figured that I need to install two more library source to make it work.

The yum commands for them are as follows:

yum install libXt-devel
yum install libXaw-devel

After that follow the procedure: ./configure && make && make install
You are done!

Run it as:
xmemo &

PS. I am not too happy about the UI. I am looking for better alternatives.
