Gaim 1.1.2

I've built Gaim 1.1.2 by upping the pkgver of the PKGBUILD in ABS from 1.1.1.

It installed fine and ran but although AIM connects OK, MSN doesn't.  The checkbox toggle to go online in the Accounts section doesn't function for the MSN account, regardless of whether the (new) http connection checkbox is selected.

Anyone else experience the same or managed to fix it?

Re: Gaim 1.1.2

i had the same problem, and when i executed the debug mode :

server: gaim 1.1.2 logging in celeron@linuxchile.cl using MSN
autorecon: hid error message while connecting (SSL support is needed for MSN. Please install a supported SSL library. See http://gaim.sf.net/faq-ssl.php for more information.)

It seems has problems with gnutls :S

Re: Gaim 1.1.2

I recompile gaim and when the configure script ended. i had:

SSL Library/Libraries......... : No

But when i downgraded gnutls 1.0.23 => 1.0.22, i recompiled and obtained:

SSL Library/Libraries......... : GNUTLS

And now it is working

Re: Gaim 1.1.2

AFAIK you need either gnutls or nss-nspr not both.  :?

but it works. If you hav'nt gnutls, it complained. But with this configure line gaim use nss-nspr.

Re: Gaim 1.1.2

The gnutls guys f*ck up things every minor release. Having a GNU SSL implementation is nice, but not when it changes even more frequently than the 2.6 kernels do.

Re: Gaim 1.1.2

Hi
I just upgraded to the official 1.1.2 (current::network - 2005-01-30 18:29:20) via pacman and now MSN won't connect.
Reporting:  SSL support is needed for MSN. Any advice?

Re: Gaim 1.1.2

add the nss/nspr part of the pkgbuild I submitted to the current PKGBUILD in ABS and it should work

Re: Gaim 1.1.2

as i am a makepkg newbie, i have some probleme with the dependance in nss-nspr. i think that if it's a dependance is not in my computer, it install. well i think wrong. so i have to solution : install it with pacman or with abs?
so i install it via pacman but i think it's not very good because now a library is "explicity installed".

moreover with this pkgconfig as is, it don't find the source.
i think if you change the source to a real server , for exemple
http://ovh.dl.sourceforge.net/sourcefor … .2.tar.bz2
it run
so the pkgbuild become

Re: Gaim 1.1.2

the nss-nspr package should be in a makedepends=() line in the PKGBUILD as well.

http://dl.sourceforge.net works, but I think the format is:

http://dl.sourceforge.net/PKGNAME/PKGNAME.PKGVER.tar.gz
