I am not sure if this is the same but but after emerging gaim 1.0.1 while trying to connect to msn I get a message saying: "SSL support is needed for MSN. Please install a supported SSL library. See http://gaim.sf.net/faq-ssl.php for more information"
this bug is related to bug 67488 where gaim-encryption fails to compile, and is caused by a problem finding Mozilla NSS Libraries. Please see bug 67488 for more details about the matter... For now, though this bug can be detoured by using gnutls instead of nss by doing the following: USE="gnutls" emerge gaim unfortunately, gaim-encryption specifically needing the nss libraries, this use flag will not fix bug 67488. by the way, this problem is also apparent in gaim-cvs and gaim-encryption-cvs, so it is not a problem with these packages, but more like a problem finding a dependency , so it's an anomaly in our systems... anyway, until this gets fixed at least, i'll be using gnutls (i don't know the difference between it and nss but i usually go for the default dependency, by pure logic...) good luck! uriahheep
Problem was change in dev-libs/nss ebuild that altered lib install directory. Fixed in gaim-1.0.1 and gaim-1.0.2
Seems to be working now, but it this right? ldd /usr/lib/gaim/ssl-nss.so libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0x0000002a95669000) libplc4.so => /usr/lib/MozillaFirefox/libplc4.so (0x0000002a9576c000) libplds4.so => /usr/lib/MozillaFirefox/libplds4.so (0x0000002a95872000) libnspr4.so => /usr/lib/MozillaFirefox/libnspr4.so (0x0000002a95975000) libssl3.so => /usr/lib/MozillaFirefox/libssl3.so (0x0000002a95ab0000) libsmime3.so => /usr/lib/MozillaFirefox/libsmime3.so (0x0000002a95bd6000) libnss3.so => /usr/lib/MozillaFirefox/libnss3.so (0x0000002a95d00000) libsoftokn3.so => /usr/lib/MozillaFirefox/libsoftokn3.so (0x0000002a95e81000) libnsl.so.1 => /lib/libnsl.so.1 (0x0000002a96005000) libc.so.6 => /lib/tls/libc.so.6 (0x0000002a9611c000) /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x000000552aaaa000) libpthread.so.0 => /lib/tls/libpthread.so.0 (0x0000002a96342000) Same issue in 3 machines, (2 x86, 1 x86_64) gaim is linking with /usr/lib/MozillaFirefox/* and not with /usr/lib/nss/*
Yes that is expected. It is during the compiling phase that it definitely needs to find those standalone libs. However during run time, the linker finds Mozilla first and will use those for now.
