When I emerge gaim-0.66-r3, it fails during the configure. It appears to be unable to find NSS/NSPR. I already have gaim-0.63-r1 installed, and this occured during an emerge -u world, though it also fails in the same way when i type emerge -u gaim . Also installed on this system are: dev-libs/nss-3.8 and dev-libs/nspr-4.3 . Below is the end of the output of the emerge. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge -u gaim --OR-- emerge -u world (if gaim-0.63-r1 is installed) 2. 3.

Hmm that certainly isn't good. If you have nspr and nss properly emerged then I can't see why it wouldn't work. Just out of curiosity, do you have Mozilla (not just mozilla-firebird) installed? Also for indulgence's sake, can you try: USE="-ssl" emerge gaim And confirm that that still works.
Yes, mozilla is installed, and USE="-ssl" does work.
Can you indulge me once again and re-install nspr, nss and gaim (with SSL this time)?
I re-emerged both NSS and NSPR, then I tried gaim again, but I got the same results as I originally got.
gaim-0.66-r4 has an updated gaim-encryption. Can you try to emerge that and report back. I may need to bring in the gaim-encryption author to troubleshoot this.
Or you can try the new gaim-0.67 release which is now in portage.
gaim-0.67-r1 installs fine.
Very well then I will close this bug out. I plan to mark 0.67-r1 stable ASAP.
