gaim 0.74 and MSN SSL
I just compiled gaim for 9.0 mixing up usr-local-bin and SUSE .spec files. It is last version available, compiled with all the Mozilla libs for ssl installed but when I try to connect to a MNS account I get "SSL support is needed for MSN. Please install it". What else is missing? Kopete works...
Ivan, If you are installing Gaim from the tarry geezer, it may be that the SSL libraries live in a different directory in SuSE than the installation files want to see. And you have to specify SSL support when you configure Gaim. I shortcircuited the process by going to www.usr-local-bin.org and downloading a GAIM rpm especially designed for SuSE 9.0. It worked right the first time. Hope that helps... Best, Pete . -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peter N.

Ivan,

What I really did was install everything reasonable concerning SSL/Mozilla from SUSE DVD and copy the configure options from J. Ogley srpm. I didn't notice any warning or error concerning SSL libs, everything compile OK... but gaim complains anyway when I try to use a MSN account. I was wondering if he compiled it with some newer lib version (newer mozilla???) or anything I didn't notice. checking for Mozilla nspr libraries... yes checking for Mozilla nss3 includes in /opt/mozilla/include/nss... "" checking nss.h usability... yes checking nss.h presence... yes checking for nss.h... yes checking ssl.h usability... yes checking ssl.h presence... yes checking for ssl.h... yes etc...
when you configure Gaim. I shortcircuited the process by going to www.usr-local-bin.org and downloading a GAIM rpm especially designed for SuSE 9.0. It worked right the first time.
I saw them... but I'd like to understand what's wrong with mine + starting from SUSE spm I gained a couple of man pages more... but a not working SSL :( anyway I just checked which is lighter among kopete and gaim: ivan@stige:~> ls -lh `which kopete` -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1.4M 2003-10-24 15:00 /opt/kde3/bin/kopete ivan@stige:~> ls -lh `which gaim` -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 12M 2003-12-03 15:19 /opt/gnome/bin/gaim Unfortunately Kopete doesn't seem to work in window maker. In suse 8.1 I was able to compile it, load it but it stayed iconified and I couldn't use it... OK... time to rpmize tightvnc... newer rdesktop worked like a charm on SUSE 9.0 :) BTW... I still have some rpm for SUSE 8.1 here: http://www.webthatworks.it/docs/rpms.asp I'll add soon a page for 9.0

I ended up downloading the tarball from gaim.sourceforge.net and doing: ./configure --prefix=/opt/gnome2 make make install and it works beautiful. This is 8.2 by the way. I tried James' package (for 9.0) and it worked except that the images were missing. Guess 8.2 and 9.0's gnome differ a bit... Hans
