i've installed jabberd-2.0-r1, and msn-transport-20040531-r1 can't be emerged because its configure script looks for jabberd.h, which isn't provided by jabberd. # emerge msn-transport Calculating dependencies ...done! >>> emerge (1 of 1) net-im/msn-transport-20040531-r1 to / >>> md5 src_uri ;-) msn-transport-2004-05-31.tar.gz >>> Unpacking source... >>> Unpacking msn-transport-2004-05-31.tar.gz to /var/tmp/portage/msn-transport-20040531-r1/work >>> Source unpacked. creating cache ./config.cache checking for a BSD compatible install... /bin/install -c checking whether build environment is sane... yes checking whether make sets ${MAKE}... yes checking for working aclocal-1.4... found checking for working autoconf... found checking for working automake-1.4... found checking for working autoheader... found checking for working makeinfo... found checking for gcc... gcc checking whether the C compiler (gcc -pipe -O2 -march=athlon-xp -mmmx -m3dnow -msse -fomit-frame-pointer ) works... yes checking whether the C compiler (gcc -pipe -O2 -march=athlon-xp -mmmx -m3dnow -msse -fomit-frame-pointer ) is a cross-compiler... no checking whether we are using GNU C... yes checking whether gcc accepts -g... yes checking whether build environment is sane... yes checking for jabberd.h...

msn-transport needs jabberd 1.4 installed, it actualy is a "module" for a jabberd 1.4 process. Did you inject 1.4?
no, i've masked it, and emerged 2.0. Shouldn't msn-transport work with 2.0, as their website claims ? http://msn-transport.jabberstudio.org/ "Does not require any particular Jabber server to run. You can plug it straight into Jabberd2."
That is the new version of the transport that is written in python, this is the old C version. From what i've tested the new version is still a little buggy. Maybe in the near future.
There is no fix at this time other than installing jabberd 1.4
