Hi Dan,
It took me a while to work my way back to this issue because I had
received another suggestion to just configure it without perl support
which did in fact allow a clean compile. I installed it and went on to
other things but when I actually tried to use gaim I got a segfault. I
then came back to your suggestion and pulled down the Fedora patch and
applied it. I went back to CLFS to get the correct configuration and
compile commands and re compiled the perl with the -fPIC option. I then
went back to gaim-1.5.0 and recompiled using the patched perl and got
the same errors as before. I'll add them here for completeness sake. The
message I get when trying to run gaim tell me to get data from the core
file and send it in. I think I will do that. If nothing else it may
point me to something else I don't see during the compile.
