Hi,

That's funny. I tried to compile kopete-0.6.2 and it doesn't: at 
libicq_la.all_cc.cc it fails with three pages of compiler error messages 
like:
In file included from libicq_la.all_cc.cc:3:
clearhtml.cc:1:1: warning: "yy_create_buffer" redefined
In file included from libicq_la.all_cc.cc:2:
genrtf.cc:1:1: warning: this is the location of the previous definition
In file included from libicq_la.all_cc.cc:3:
clearhtml.cc:2:1: warning: "yy_delete_buffer" redefined
[...]

Either the sarge's current is broken or someone did no test to compile before 
release. What a great piece of software...

Ther is an alternative: sim-icq. However, someone forgot some files in the 
release tarball:
$./configure
[...]
fast creating gkrellm_plugin/Makefile
can't open ./gkrellm_plugin/Makefile.in: No such file or directory
[...]
$make
make[1]: *** No rule to make target `gkrellm_plugin/configure.in.in', needed 
by `configure.in'.  Stop.

After trying to recreate the build system with autmake-1.6 and autoconf2.50, 
it fails in a better way:
config.status: creating ./Makefile
config.status: creating gkrellm_plugin/Makefile
config.status: error: cannot find input file: gkrellm_plugin/Makefile.in

I cannot use sim-0.8.1 either because it happily crashes at start without any 
obvious reason.

Shouldn't an author test at least to compile the software before a release :-(
