"You did not compile with SSL support. As of protocol version 9, the MSN protocol requires the use of SSL, which gaim provides by either GnuTls or the combination of NSS and NSPR from the Mozilla project. Install one or both of these and recompile Gaim."
I don't use MSN, but I can tell you that Gaim 0.71 from my site is built with SSL enabled, from Mozilla - I tested it using a fake login and password - it succeeded as far as validating the password, then returned the message from MSN about needing to have a .NAT passport. -- James Ogley, Webmaster, Rubber Turnip james@rubberturnip.org.uk http://www.rubberturnip.org.uk Jabber: riggwelter@myjabber.net Using Free Software since 1994, running GNU/Linux (SuSE 8.2) GNOME updates for SuSE: http://www.usr-local-bin.org
