Everyone,
I hate to bother you with yet another question, but hear me out... before posting here, I went to the Gaim page and read the relevant portion of the FAQ, but I needed clarification on a portion... so I went to their contact page, and they suggested I visit there IRC channel. So I did. I asked my question in there, and got laughed at condescended for using Slackware and asking such a question. They suggested I use Fedora or Debian instead since they have better package management. I defended .tgz a bit, but they just continued to mock me, so I said I prefer compiling from source anyway. What a bunch of guys. I've never once been made fun of or talked down to on this forum. There's my story, and here I am yet again with a new question.
Okay, so according to the Gaim FAQ, to get MSN support you have to configure with SSL when compiling. Here is there example:
Code:
./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
This is done after adding /usr/lib/mozilla-1.4 to /etc/ld.so.conf.
Okay, so if I'm running Firefox instead of Mozilla, then I need to add /usr/lib/firefox to /etc/ld.so.conf instead. Fine.
the "with-nss-libs" and "with-nspr-libs" are fine to since they can be changed to /usr/lib/firefox aswell... but "with-nss-includes" and "with-nspr-includes" are confusing me because there is no /usr/include/firefox. I don't know what path to put for those to arguments. "slocate nss | grep firefox" just points me back to /usr/lib/firefox-1.0.2, and I doubt that I'm supposed to put /usr/lib/firefox for all 4 of those arguments.
