Bad SSL and GAIM
« on: September 05, 2006, 08:05:24 pm »
GAIM is complaining about not having SSL, which means I can't use MSN.  But the Drexel servers use SSL, and I can connect fine with Thunderbird.  I also tried recompiling GAIM with [the below] like gaim.sf.net/faq-ssl.php says, but no luck...

./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

Most slackware distributions come with OpenSSL installed, I think, but did you try installing it?

Can you use SSH?

It runs, but I have no SSH server to connect to...but like I said, Thunderbird handles SSL fine.

It might be using another implementation of it, though.  Try finding where OpenSSL was installed and specifying it with ./configure options?

Yeah, I've had issues with that before.  The easiest way is just to download a Gaim package (either from Slackware's site or linuxpackages.net).  I forget how I got Gaim working :)

Haha, I just downloaded the source.  It worked fine for me.  I have it on my laptop and desktop.
