gaim-1.0.2-r1 complains about MSN module is not built with SSL support: "SSL support is needed for MSN. Please install a supported SSL library. See http://gaim.sf.net/faq-ssl.php for more information" Following steps described in FAQ page I have found that gaims ssl module is all right however it could not find some libs belong to NSS. It looks like NSS changed default installation path from /usr/lib/ to /usr/lib/nss. Running gaim with: LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/nss gaim it fixes the problem. The question is about default installation path to nss libs or should nss ebuild create /etc/env.d/XXnss? The same libs are in mozilla installation, so I am not sure about /etc/env.d/XXnss, it might be error prone. Any ideas?
Please re-emerge dev-libs/nss and then re-emerge gaim.
I have got the same problem too. And no, remerging nss and gaim didnt fixed it (it was pointless because emerge -u which I run just before I noticed it broke gaim did that , ie it did compiled first nss and then gaim). How many times should we compile nss and then gaim to get it working ?... # emerge info Portage 2.0.51-r3 (default-linux/x86/2004.2, gcc-3.3.4, glibc-2.3.4.20040808-r1, 2.6.9-gentoo-r3 i686) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.9-gentoo-r3 i686 AMD Athlon(tm) processor Gentoo Base System version 1.4.16 Autoconf: sys-devel/autoconf-2.59-r5 Automake: sys-devel/automake-1.8.5-r1 Binutils: sys-devel/binutils-2.14.90.0.8-r1 Headers: sys-kernel/linux26-headers-2.6.8.1 Libtools: sys-devel/libtool-1.5.2-r5 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CFLAGS="-O2 -march=i686 -fomit-frame-pointer" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" COMPILER="" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3.2/share/config /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/share/config /usr/share/texmf/dvipdfm/config/ /usr/share/texmf/dvips/config/ /usr/share/texmf/tex/generic/config/ /usr/share/texmf/tex/platex/config/ /usr/share/texmf/xdvi/ /var/qmail/control" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/terminfo /etc/env.d" CXXFLAGS="-O2 -march=i686 -fomit-frame-pointer" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoaddcvs ccache distlocks sandbox sfperms" GENTOO_MIRRORS="ftp://ftp.lug.ro/gentoo" MAKEOPTS="-j2" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="" SYNC="rsync://rsync.de.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="3dnow X alsa apm avi bitmap-fonts cdr crypt dvd encode f77 fam foomaticdb fortran gif gtk2 imagemagick imlib jpeg libg++ libwww mad mikmod mmx mpeg ncurses nls nptl oggvorbis opengl oss pam pdflib png quicktime readline samba slang ssl tcpd tiff truetype wmf x86 xml2 xmms xv zlib" nss and gaim use flags: [ebuild R ] dev-libs/nss-3.9.2 0 kB [ebuild R ] net-im/gaim-1.0.2-r1 -cjk +crypt -debug -gnutls -nas +nls -perl -silc -spell 0 kB
One more thing, it seems to work ok with GnuTLS.
Sync first, then re-emerge nss and gaim did not help much, the problem remains. Very simply update of /etc/env.d helps to solve the problem: echo LDPATH=/usr/lib/nss >/etc/env.d/91nss env-update
Same problem here after unmerging Mozilla. NSS should be in the libraries path. Add myself to the CC list.
As already mentioned there is no problems if gaim is compiled with gnutls, which is also the developer choice (see: http://gaim.sourceforge.net/faq-ssl.php#q20 ) so maybe gnutls should be the default option?
I can duplicate and liquidx acknowledges. The gnutls thing is another bug.
committed changes to nspr-4.4.1-r1 and nss-3.9.2-r1. problem is, as long as the mozilla folks don't version their nspr/nss libraries, this problem will always creep up. currently, i'm putting nspr/nss libraries lower in the search path than mozilla.
Any hint as to when you might take this stable? I'd like to raise the DEPEND in gaim and gaim-encryption.
quite soon, as the change isn't too big. i'm just worried there will be more conflicts that happen. i think it should be stable by the end of the week
