[Question] Gaim 1.5.0 and SSL


Lately I installed Debian Sarge 3.1 r0a (stable).
And then I upgrade gaim from 1.3 (default) to 1.5.0 (build from source).
The it occurred that gaim can't connect to msn due to SSL issue.
So I read the page (http://gaim.sourceforge.net/faq-ssl.php), stating that it require ssl.
Therefore I, first run './configure' to see what version supported in my system.
it states
Code:
gaim 1.5.0

Build Protocol Plugins........ : yes
Protocols to link statically.. :
Protocols to build dynamically : gg irc jabber msn napster novell oscar yahoo zephyr

UI Library.................... : GTK 2.x
SSL Library/Libraries......... : GNUTLS
...

Then I try to make to see weather there's error occurred.
But it make successfully w/t complaining any error.
Thus I re-launch msn (pointing to the installed path by, e.g., /usr/local/bin/gaim), but it still complain ssl problem (asking me to read faq-ssl.php page O_o).
So I try 'ldd /usr/local/lib/gaim/ssl-gnutls.so' this command.
and it reports
Code:
        libglib-2.0.so.0 => /usr/lib/libglib-2.0.so.0 (0xb7f11000)
        libnsl.so.1 => /lib/tls/libnsl.so.1 (0xb7efc000)
        libc.so.6 => /lib/tls/libc.so.6 (0xb7dc7000)
        /lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x80000000)
looks like different from the page described. Does it matter?
Or how can I solve the problem??
I appreciate any suggestion, sincerely.

I don't know, but what I can say is that this part of one of my build scripts compiles gaim for me. Connects to msn
Code:
tar xf libgpg-error-1.1.tar.gz &&
cd libgpg-error-1.1 &&
./configure --prefix=/usr &&
make &&
make install &&
cd .. &&
rm -rf libgpg-error-1.1 &&
ldconfig &&
tar xf libgcrypt-1.2.1.tar.bz2 &&
cd libgcrypt-1.2.1 &&
./configure --prefix=/usr &&
make &&
make install &&
cd .. &&
rm -rf libgcrypt-1.2.1 &&
ldconfig &&
tar xf libtasn1-0.2.15.tar.gz &&
cd libtasn1-0.2.15 &&
./configure --prefix=/usr &&
make &&
make install &&
cd .. &&
rm -rf libtasn1-0.2.15 &&
tar xf gnutls-1.2.6.tar.bz2 &&
cd gnutls-1.2.6 &&
./configure --prefix=/usr &&
make &&
make install &&
cd .. &&
rm -rf gnutls-1.2.6 &&
ldconfig &&
tar xf gtkspell-2.0.10.tar.gz &&
cd gtkspell-2.0.10 &&
./configure --prefix=/usr &&
make &&
make install &&
cd .. &&
rm -rf gtkspell-2.0.10 &&
ldconfig &&
tar xf gaim-1.5.0.tar.bz2 &&
cd gaim-1.5.0 &&
./configure --prefix=/usr &&
make &&
make install &&
cd .. &&
rm -rf gaim-1.5.0

thanks your reply, i appreciate it sincerely.
now after few try, i found out the problem resulted from the parameter unset when "configure".
that means i should use "./configure --enable-gnutls=yes". then make; make install ...
now it works fine.
thanks your help.
