So, you can try the following steps: 1) revert your system to its original state; 2) try my tool, you'll basically need to run just one command line like this: ~/AppsFromScratch/20061104/bin/build.pl -targets_to_build gaim -make_like 1>build.log 2 >&1 & - this is not yet released version, I can send it to you if you're interested. My tool downloads sources from the net and builds and installs apps/libs locally, not requiring root permission, so integrity of your system is preserved. The dependencies are built as needed automatically. --Sergei.
