SSL and gaim(msn)


i installed the latest version of gaim (0.74)
My msn couldn't be connected due to SSL wasn't installed.
Can anyone tell me where can i downloaded the SSL for the gaim?
Or it already installed in Slackware 9.1 but not yet activated?
Am i right?
Correct me if i am wrong.
Thanks.

Q. I just upgraded Gaim and the MSN plugin will not load. Why?

A. You did not compile with SSL support, or the SSL plugin failed to load. As of protocol version 9, the MSN protocol requires the use of SSL, which gaim provides by either GnuTLS or the combination of NSS and NSPR from the Mozilla project. Install one or both of these and recompile Gaim, and see the next question.

mmm... Google

wait... There's more!

oh boy instructions!

And according to the FAQ you can get both NSS and NSRP here.

Google is your friend :P
