Gaim Problems
 
I just reinstalled slackware(from the same disks) it seems to be behaving completely differenty. Gaim gives me the error that ssl support is still needed. On my old slack install I compiled gaim with ssl support doing these two things

1. I added this line, /usr/lib/mozilla-1.4 to my /etc/ld.so.conf
2. i ran the command as root /sbin/ldconfig

then it compiled with ssl support and my msn plugin worked.

On my redhat sytem I had to use a different method. During the ./configure stage I showed where all of my libs and includes were

$./configure --with-nss-includes=/usr/include/mozilla-1.4/nss --with-nspr-includes=/usr/include/mozilla-1.4/nspr --with-nss-libs=/usr/lib/mozilla-1.4 --with-nspr-libs=/usr/lib/mozilla-1.4

now when I try either of these methods it is failing, giveing me an error that I need ssl support

Here is the interesting part: When I read the output of my ./configure it tells me that it found all of the libraries and includes
SSL Library/Libraries......... : Mozilla NSS

which in the past meant it found everything it needed for ssl support

if I did not find the libraries and includes it gave this out put
SSL Library/Libraries......... : no

I sometimes feel computers are more of an art then a science:scratch:

I am having the EXACT same problem. I have no /usr/lib/mozilla-1.4 at all. And I just compiled it! If I leave it alone it detects mozilla nss but during the compile it cant find pk1func.h and errors out. If I tell it where everything is it says it will compile with no SSL I'm stumped.
