Next, go to and download the latest Windows client (Win XP, Vista, or 7).
FIRSTCLASS CLIENT FOR LINUX INSTALL
Install the 'Wine Microsoft Windows Compatibility Layer (Beta Release)'.Go to Ubuntu Software Center and search for 'Wine'.For me it has worked so much better than the Linux version. Wine allows you to run (apparently not emulate) Windows applications on your Linux machine.
My recommendation- use the Windows version of the FirstClass client under Wine. But even then it had some strange issues, like not displaying the top message in a conference, and getting the message list all corrupted. I did eventually manage to get it to work running on 64-bit, by downloading and manually linking to the 32-bit QT libraries and resolved a crash to do with sound by passing it through a Pulse audio emulator (padsp. The client is only available for a 32-bit Linux, and doesn't work out of the box in 64-bit mode- it fails with an error regarding missing QT libraries. I tried to get the Linux client to work properly under 64-bit Ubuntu 10.10, which was pretty hit and miss really. They have a Linux client available, but it is out of date and doesn't really work very well. At work we use an email/productivity platform called FirstClass, from OpenText ( ).
