Peter,

i tried another approach. i just read that qq has been merged with the new
gaim, called pidgin, so i attempted to install pidgin. i was able to
configure the source but compile died in the 'make'. with the .rpm i got
a .deb file, which i then did 'dpkg -i' on. e'thing seemed to go normally,
but after the 'setting up' message, nothing was on the system for pidgin.
below is the session.

thanks,

I just compiled it on my etch system here, be sure to get the libgnutls-dev and libnss3-dev packages. Mine was failing on gnutls/ssl until I got those packages.
