Description ytiruceslaicos 2007-04-24 01:42:21 UTC
The SILC protocol is not available when GAIM is emerged with use=SILC. When gaim -d is run, the error message that appears to be pertinent is:
plugins: /usr/lib/gaim/libsilcgaim.so is not loadable: undefined symbol: silc_default_ciphers

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Emerge gaim-2.0.0_beta6 with USE="silc"
2. Run gaim
3. Attempt to use SILC protocol

Actual Results:  
The SILC protocol was not available.

Expected Results:  
The SILC protocol should have been available.

An error message is displayed:
plugins: /usr/lib/gaim/liboscar.so is not usable because the 'gaim_init_plugin' symbol could not be found.  Does the plugin call the GAIM_INIT_PLUGIN() macro?
plugins: probing /usr/lib/gaim/libsilcgaim.so
plugins: /usr/lib/gaim/libsilcgaim.so is not loadable: undefined symbol: silc_default_ciphers

it works here with net-im/pidgin... can you reproduce with it ?

Yes. Looking closer, it seems to be a problem with silc-toolkit: the sofiles have unrealistically small sizes (for example, libsilc-1.0.so.2.4.1 has a filesize of only 5196). I attempted to emerge silc-toolkit again with no CFLAGS and no LDFLAGS, and the problem persisted (with same filesize).
Comment 5 Olivier Crete (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-05-03 04:24:18 UTC
Please check the full build log of silc-toolkit and see if you find anything wrong.. even if you dont, can you please attach it here.. and why do yoiu have -fno-ident ???

As to -fno-ident: to be honest, I forget. I managed to build silc-toolkit successfully manually (without the small filesize problem) with that in CFLAGS, so I don't think that it's the problem.

Build log is attached. The package was emerged with null CFLAGS, CXXFLAGS, and LDFLAGS, and libsilc-1.0.so.2.4.1 still had a filesize of 5196.

Comment 8 Matt 2007-07-07 09:52:33 UTC
have a look at:
http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-568891-highlight-.html

you only need to modify silc-toolkit 1.0.2 ebuild to 1.1.2 (rename), ebuild silc-toolkit-1.1.2.ebuild digest, emerge it, then re-emerge pidgin / gaim

then it will work

it seems that a lot of apps depending on silc-toolkit needs this updated version
Comment 9 Octavio Ruiz (Ta^3) 2007-07-14 01:59:43 UTC
Maybe you want to take a look at Bug #185260 and close this one.
I wonder why you want to use gaim rather than pidgin?
Comment 10 Markus Ullmann (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-09-14 15:35:07 UTC
please try to reproduce with pidgin

The silc plugin works for me with pidgin-2.1.1 and silc-toolkit-1.1.2-r2.
