fubz Posted August 22, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2005 Do i need all the --with and that stuff? because with and without those it still doesnt work... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
naraku9333 Posted August 22, 2005 Report Share Posted August 22, 2005 Do i need all the --with and that stuff? because with and without those it still doesnt work...<{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yes, I tested it on my Ubuntu VM. The with-gaim tells it where to install the plugin. Are you getting an error running ./configure? I needed to install gaim-dev to get it to work, try: sudo apt-get install gaim-devbefore ./configure.
