shanenin Posted April 25, 2006 Report Share Posted April 25, 2006 (edited) This will fix your problem. gaim in your menu is pointing to the location /usr/bin/gaim . That is why you are getting this errorDetails: Failed to execute child process "gaim" (No such file or directory)I will give you exact directions, from the beginning. this should solve your problem. This time you will tell gaim to be installed in the /usr directory, with this option --prefix=/usrrun these commands. sudo apt-get remove gaimsudo apt-get install libgnutls10-devrm -rf gaim*wget http://easynews.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/gaim/gaim-2.0.0beta2.tar.bz2tar -xjf gaim-2.0.0beta2.tar.bz2cd gaim-2.0.0beta2./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-gnutls=yesmakesudo make install Edited April 25, 2006 by shanenin Quote Link to post Share on other sites

shanenin Posted April 25, 2006 Report Share Posted April 25, 2006 (edited) your welcome :-)edit added later//by the way, you probably still have the new version of gaim installed. Depending on whos directions you followed, the newest version of gaim can be run by either typing one of these two commands into the terminal/opt/bin/gaim/usr/local/bin/gaim Edited April 25, 2006 by shanenin Quote Link to post Share on other sites
