Download the RPM of Gaim 0.71 from www.usr-local-bin.org. This works here - I have had no problems connecting to MSN yet.
I've tried that, and no luck: the MSN protocol is still missing.
When you say that the protocol is "missing", what do you mean? That there is no option to create an MSN account in Gaim, or that it won't connect? If the former, there is something very wrong with your setup. If the latter, there's something slightly wrong :-) I'd suggest moving your ~/.gaim directory to somewhere else and try again. You can copy all the old buddies back once you've got it working. The version of Gaim that James is distributing definitely works with MSN ATM - it's happily connected here as I type and I've had various conversations with MSN-using friends since the 15th. So it must be some problem with your system or your internet connection - and as you can send email and (presumably) browse the web, suspicion must like with some config in your system. The ~/.gaim is the easiest one to test :-) HTH John -- John Pettigrew Headstrong Games john@headstrong-games.co.uk Fun : Strategy : Price http://www.headstrong-games.co.uk/ Board games that won't break the bank Valley of the Kings: ransack an ancient Egyptian tomb but beware of mummies!
