It took a while but I finally got it working with some help from the mention above about mozilla-devel (instead of mozilla-nss-devel). I found mozilla-nss and mozilla-npsr <a href="ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/supplementary/GNOME/update_for_9.3/applications/" rel="nofollow">here</a> and mozilla-devel <a href="ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/9.3/suse/i586/" rel="nofollow">here.</A> After installing those packages Gaim compiled without any trouble and MSN is connecting again.

I made a Suse 9.3 RPM to add this feature back.

I don't recall having problems with the perl stuff. Maybe I did but it was a while ago that I created the RPMs. However, in the spec file, there's a configure option called --with-perl-lib you might try setting this to the location (in the %{buildroot}) where your perl installation is. I'd be interested in your solution so if you get it worked out, feel free to post here... I’m glad the tutorial helped out. I don’t recall having problems with the perl stuff.

So far i've made 3 on suse x86_64. Right now i'm tring to create a Gaim 1.2.1 rpm from the src.rpm on the gaim site but i get this message... RPM build errors: File not found: /var/tmp/gaim-1.2.1-root/usr/lib64/perl5 I have perl5 installed but it's libraries are in /usr/lib. I'm not sure if thats the problem. When you built gaim did you come across this? My spec file is very similar to yours except i have libnss disabled. Hey Marc,
