In case you are still interested - I have just added gaim-2.0.0beta5 to the list of targets
built by my tool - see signature.

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.
