Linux n00b here.
I've installed slackware 9.1, got it up and running, in Gnome right now.. so I managed to get this far at least.
I downloaded and installed the latest GAIM (An IM program) package, but it's unable to communicate with MSN, it gives me unsupported protocol errors.. I've managed to determine that I don't have SSL support installed, and that I require this.
When I installed GAIM, the package came with a 'configure' file. I ran:
./configre
make
make install
make clean
And life was good.
I've downloaded three different packages for SSL support (Two from the Slackware site) and none of them have a 'config' or 'configre' file anywhere in them. (Lots of config.xxxx files)
This is about where I become totally confused and lost. Help! :|
(I'm sure the answer is going to make me look like the n00b I am
)
