Gaim
 
I can't use MSN with Gaim, he always says that I have a problem with the Protocols...

Who can help me?

Which version are you using and which protocols does it say you are missing? If you are using a version which came with your distro, then it's probably out of date.

Here is their homepage, they have just (a week ago) released a new version - grab that and see if it solves your problem.

Welcome to LQ :D

Welcome to LQ.

Did you compile it with the mozilla nss libraries. The is required since the last round of MS updates.

Mr.Kex 01-16-2004 04:10 PM

XavierP I don't know which version it is, but I've asked some peoples about this problem and they sayd that the problem is with the SSL...
But what is SSL?

No I didnt, how to do it?

XavierP 01-16-2004 04:20 PM

Open a terminal. Use su to become root. Type in urpmi install mozilla-nss, if I remember rightly that is the command. When the install is complete, type exit to return to yourself. Then try a reinstall.

Everything already installed

Not being a Gaim user, this may not be correct, but when it is open, click Help and then About and let us know what the version is.

Gaim version 0.68

XavierP 01-16-2004 05:32 PM

The latest version is 0.75 - download and install that one, it may solve your problem.

Mr.Kex 01-16-2004 05:45 PM

Ok, thank you, I'll try...

Definitely grab 0.75. Then, the following URL should be helpful:
