gaimosd-1.0.0.ebuild installs the .so and .la files to /usr/lib/gaim but gaim-1.3.0 is only looking in /usr/local/lib/gaim for plugins. Besides, it (this time I installed it manually) causes gaim to crash with segfault, but thats not gentoo-specific and I already submitted a bug to gaimosd on sourceforge: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&atid=463715&aid=1203243&group_id=51563 Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.emerge gaimosd Actual Results: plugin not listed under settings
Did you install gaim-1.3.0 manually? The ebuild tells gaim to use /usr as the prefix rather than default /usr/local.
nope, used portage $ emerge -pv gaim These are the packages that I would merge, in order: Calculating dependencies ...done! [ebuild R ] net-im/gaim-1.3.0 -cjk -debug -eds -gnutls -krb4 -nas +nls +perl -silc +spell +tcltk 0 kB Under Settings->Plugins[->Details] I also saw that all listed plugins are in /usr/local/lib/gaim
What does `which gaim` say?
(In reply to comment #3) > What does `which gaim` say? $ which gaim /usr/local/bin/gaim
Then obviously you have some manual install of gaim left over that is in your $PATH before the emerge'd gaim. You need to clean out /usr/local/bin/gaim and /usr/local/lib/gaim (just remove the whole direction for that). emerge puts gaim in /usr/bin/gaim.
I never installed it manually, but I emerged an older version a long time ago. So I didnt even use gaim-1.3.0 ?? Anyway, it seems to work now. what a stupid fool I am....
All packages in portage use /usr as their prefix and have for at least the past 3 years.
