So I decided to get rid of those annoying MSN messages in Gaim today and install a new version with MSN Protocol 9 support. the whole build process goes fine, builds and installs everything, then i get "Error while loading shared library: libnss3.so: Cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory." So I ln -s /usr/lib/libnss_compat.co /usr/lib/libnss3.so, which solves that, now I'm getting the same with libsmime3.so. Is this going to continue until I have a maze of symlinks just to make gaim work? What can I install to get the real versions of this stuff?

TIA

ok never mind I figured it out... for anyone that wants to know, you have to add Mozilla 1.3's lib path to /etc/ld.so.conf and run ldconfig. This is what I did:

echo "/usr/lib/mozilla-1.3" >> /etc/ld.so.conf; /sbin/ldconfig

then gaim will work, though it throws some assertion warning when it starts.

cool.

I've been compiling gaim today aswell, but I've build the nss libraries inside the binary. (static linking) ... that was the thing I did after examining "ldd `which gaim`", and "./configure --help | grep nss".
