That backtrace is from gaim-0.75-r5?

What are you trying to do when it crashes?

[Comment 2 Don Seiler (RETIRED) 2004-01-18 12:22:45 UTC]

Is this backtrace from gdb or from a core file?  I need the backtrace from gdb.

bass I've committed a new patch to gaim-0.75-r5.  Can you please rsync and re-emerge gaim-0.75-r5.  One user said that it is finally working on his iBook G4 with this latest patch.

[Comment 4 José Alberto Suárez López (RETIRED) 2004-01-23 06:56:11 UTC]

I'm using now 0.75-r5 (the latest one), jabber works so i cant connect to yahoo or msn.

[Comment 5 Don Seiler (RETIRED) 2004-01-23 07:04:25 UTC]

Yahoo authentication isn't working on any PPC machines I've seen so far.  What is the error you're getting with MSN?

[Comment 6 Don Seiler (RETIRED) 2004-01-25 06:05:55 UTC]

Jose I think that yahoo or msn errors are actually problems with the server or changed authentication, and don't reflect "bugs" in the gaim software.

I know lately MSN usage has been problematic, as has Yahoo authentication, especially from outside the US.

I'm going to mark this bug fixed for now.
