Unhappy Gaim

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 If you are using a version which came with your distro, then it's probably out of date.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.

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.

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.

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

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