Hi all,
i'm using slackware-current and it worked quite good so far. Mozilla web
browser got removed, with all his related libraries...
as you could already have guessed gaim ssl support (which is based on
mozilla-nss in slack) got broken.
Adding /usr/lib/firefox to /etc/ld.so.conf and running ldconfig made all
work as usual. How can this be told to PV? By email or there's a know iter
to follow?
Bye.

Hi,
I'm using slackware 10.1 with no mozilla web browser installed
I tried do run gaim, but kept getting an error message about ss
support
I use firefox for browsing so I've added "/usr/lib/mozilla-firefox" t
"/etc/ld.so.conf" and runned "ldconfig"
The problem now is that despite I'm no longer getting the erro
message, I still can't connect to my messager acount. It just stay
in "connecting" forever..

Can anyone help me about it

I'd be interested in hearing this one too, especially if anyone's
actually gotten it to WORK with the firefox nss and nspr libraries.

My last battle with this thing took 5 hours, 30-odd reconfigures, 4 cups
of coffee, and 18 cigarettes. In the end, I STILL ended up having to
install mozilla just for two libraries. Now, I have a 19M IM client
(still better than an unused 55M browser, though).

Just because of this problem, I have created a package of the
mozilla-nss libraries, which are by the way, an independent piece of
software the sources of which can be found at:
http://www.mozilla.org/projects/secu.../overview.html.

My Slackware 10.1 package is here:
http://sox.homeip.net/slackware/slac...zilla-nss/pkg/ and when
you go up a directory, you'll find the SlackBuild script plus
everything else you need to rebuild the package if you do not trust my
binaries.

Cheers, Eric

I use FF / TB Gaim and on Cable. Did you enable SSL and SHL on boot?
just a thought. Slackware 10.1 -current

Wel.... slackware-current you say? In that case you've probably got
Mozilla back (it got re-added on march 26th), and in that case you
won't be experiencing the problems as described by the OP.

BTW your comments are quite condensed... I was (almost) having
troubles grasping what you're telling here. But it could be the time
of night, too :-)
Still, what did you mean by "enable SSL and SHL on boot"?

Cheers, Eric

sorry for being so short. Anyway, yes I use -current and no I did not
have Mozilla Suite installed, nor Netscape 7.2, because I have Firefox
and Thunderbird installed. I used Slapt-get to get all teh currents. Now
on install did you do a full install or custom? If you did custom, you
may have missed a few things.

Regarding Full Install, yes I did the full install and it installed said
things I do not use. Pkgtool came in handy there. and ftping the new KDE
3.4.0 and several other things from the Slack site and then installing
new pkgs. SSL/SHL They are on by default if you set it up on install.
