Nope, it wont run. You will need a java emulator and run the java client.

Mine works fine ;) Although I don't use it on Linux, but it's running fine on Vista Home Premium, no issues.

Get the latest version of pidgin installed. It comes bundled with the latest MXit Plugin.

Linux and Mxit:eek:

It would appear Linux is in fact for everyone these days...

Pidgin should work on all Ubuntu. Have you installed Pidgin from the Software Center, which would be the easiest way also.

From the Add contact in Pidgin, there is a dropdown list, where you just select Mxit and then you just type in your details (your number with the 27 in the place of the nul).

Hope that helps.

Pidgin has mxit protocol built in.

Use that.

The empathy mxit doesn't work. I have reported a bug for it.

Mine doesn't... I tried updating it, but the pidgin-ppa file doesn't want to update due to some exit string returning a value of 1. :confused:
I've un-installed pidgin and re-installed it. And even if I try to update it via Console, (sudu apt-get install pidgin), the same error appears.
