Gaim-Encryption
I've looked on Google and the mailing archives and don't really find anything were others are complaining about the same issue. So I'm assuming because I'm new to FreeBSD that I'm overlooking something. I made sure that my ports tree was synced with the most upto date ports. I went into the /usr/ports/net/gaim and did make fetch-recursive and then make install clean. Among other things this compiled the newst version of Gaim V 0.80. No problems. This works great. But now I would like to use encyption so I goto /usr/ports/security/gaim-encyption and do make fetch-recursive and then make install clean. This compiled fine. Gaim-Encryption v2.28. But when I open up Gaim to load the Encryption-Plugin it doesn't show up listed at all. I tried rebooting and still the same. I tried deinstalling Gaim and the reinstalling. Still the same thing.. Does anyone have Gaim working with Gaim encryption? I've looked in the MAKE files but I'm unsure of what to do if anything. Any help is much appreciated. Thanks, Joshua Banks __ Do you Yahoo!? Y!

I forgot to mention that I know how to enble pluggins from within Gaim. ToolsPreferencesPlugins (no Gaim-Encryption plugin checkbox is there.) This is why I'm kind of baffeled. I'm not sure what else I need to do. Joe are your running Gaim v0.80 and Gaim-Encryption V2.28 ? Thanks, Joshua Banks __ Do you Yahoo!? New and Improved Yahoo!

Make sure you do not have WITHOUT_NSS defined in your /etc/make.conf, and that Gaim was build with NSS support. Dohp... I don't have an /etc/make.conf file present no problem. Thats really weird that I don't have this file in place. I can figure out what needs to be done but what I find really weird is why don't they mention the /etc/make.conf file before or during Chapter 8 of the handbook (Configuring the FreeBSD Kernel). Instead they leave this till chapter 19. Seems very important to me especially if I want my kernel sources built to my machine/hardware specs. So I've already compiled the Kernel sources, so I'm assuming its probably best that after I configure an /etc/make.conf file that I should recompile my kernel sources again? How do I ensure that Gaim is built with NSS Support? I didn't really understand where to look or what to do? The MAKE file looks like the logical place but I don't know what to do? Is this described in the Handbook? If so can you kindly hint too, where.. and I'll do what needs to be done. Thanks, Joshua Banks __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

If you don't have WITHOUT_NSS set in /etc/make.conf or in your environment, then Gaim should be built with NSS support. You might try running gaim -d from the command line, and see if it throws an error trying to load the encryption plug-in. Thanks for the help Joe. I'm pretty certain that Gaim didn't build with NSS support but I don't see any errors when running gaim -d. I don't see anything related to gaim-encryption or NSS being loaded either. So it appears that Gaim isn't being built with NSS support. So if I don't have an /etc/make.conf then how do I force Gaim to build with NSS support when it compiles? Again I see stuff in the gaim MAKE file but I don't know what I need to do specifically. Any suggestions or documentation that shows me how to accomplish this task.

I ran make fetch-recursive in the /usr/ports/security/gaim-encryption dir yesterday. What I forgot to do was make install clean. I've done this twice now with other ports. I'm learning. Heh.. When I checked /var/db/pkg I didn't see gaim-encryption as one of the packages listed. So I knew right away that I flubbed up and forgot to do make install clean after doing make fetch-recursive initially. Gaim-Encryption is working now. Thanks for your help anyways, Joe.
