Bug 56563 – GAIM: silc protocoll not selectable in the account screen

• Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Maik-Oliver Rutz 2004-07-09 12:25:14 UTC]

Can't find the silc support in gaim. There is no silc protocoll selectable.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge gaim
2. try to create a account for a silc server
3. not possible... at least here...

Actual Results:  
A "normal" gaim installation without silc support.

Expected Results:  
Use my account on the silc server. Afterwards doing some really secure chats :)

What version of gaim and what version of silc-toolkit do you have installed.

[Comment 2 Maik-Oliver Rutz 2004-07-09 14:10:00 UTC]

Gaim 0.79-r1 and silc-toolkit 0.9.12-r2.

[Comment 3 Don Seiler (RETIRED) 2004-07-10 18:03:09 UTC]

I'm having no problems with this.  Did you make sure to rebuild gaim after upgrading silc-toolkit?  Otherwise could you attach the config.log from gaim build process here?

[Comment 4 Maik-Oliver Rutz 2004-07-11 02:54:20 UTC]

Created attachment 35157 [details]
Here comes the config.log

[Comment 5 Don Seiler (RETIRED) 2004-07-12 10:50:13 UTC]

Your config definitely looks good.

Make sure you have these in /usr/lib/gaim/ :

libsilcgaim.la
libsilcgaim.so

Try running as: gaim -d > gaim.log

and look for anything suspicious during startup that would cause the silc libs no to load.

[Comment 6 Maik-Oliver Rutz 2004-07-12 11:25:16 UTC]

Here it is: :-)

plugins: /usr/lib/gaim/libsilcgaim.so is unloadable: /usr/lib/gaim/libsilcgaim.so: undefined symbol: silc_client_send_private_message_key_request

[Comment 7 Don Seiler (RETIRED) 2004-07-12 12:19:27 UTC]

Paste the output of `ldd /usr/lib/gaim/libsilcgaim.so`

[Comment 8 Maik-Oliver Rutz 2004-07-12 22:22:59 UTC]

ldd /usr/lib/gaim/libsilcgaim.so 
	linux-gate.so.1 =>  (0xffffe000)
	libpthread.so.0 => /lib/libpthread.so.0 (0x400cc000)
	libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0x4011d000)
	libnsl.so.1 => /lib/libnsl.so.1 (0x40120000)
	libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x40134000)
	/lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x80000000)

[Comment 9 Don Seiler (RETIRED) 2004-07-13 05:18:18 UTC]

The obvious problem is that it's not being listed as linking to the actual silc libs.  Here is mine:

$ ldd /usr/lib/gaim/libsilcgaim.so 
        linux-gate.so.1 =>  (0xffffe000)
        libsilc-1.0.so.2 => /usr/lib/libsilc-1.0.so.2 (0x40039000)
        libsilcclient-1.0.so.2 => /usr/lib/libsilcclient-1.0.so.2 (0x400a0000)
        libpthread.so.0 => /lib/libpthread.so.0 (0x400d5000)
        libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0x40126000)
        libnsl.so.1 => /lib/libnsl.so.1 (0x40129000)
        libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x4013d000)
        /lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x80000000)

Try re-emerging silc-toolkit and gaim, and make sure you don't have anything in /usr/local/lib or /usr/local/include from any possible manual installs.

[Comment 10 Maik-Oliver Rutz 2004-07-13 07:58:32 UTC]

Works now. Looks like silc-client-1.0.1 was the problem. 

I did:
emerge -C silc-client 
and
emerge silc-toolkit gaim

and everything is as it should be.

[Comment 11 Don Seiler (RETIRED) 2004-07-13 08:19:55 UTC]

Alright closing this out.
