I am in no way able to discourse these programming details. However, I would suggest that you disable se-linux, if you haven't already. Edit /etc/sysconfig/selinux and reboot. You might similarly dismiss iptables, though I don't really think it's implicated: service iptables stop Part of the job of both se-linux and iptables is to control who/what gets access to who/what. So, the principal I'm recommending is to eliminate the obvious filters first. PS: Are you aware that the gui screen reader, orca, has speech enable gaim?
