Some questions

Hey Jason,

If you are unfamilar with compiling and are wanting an updated gaim to 
run MSN, I wouldn't even attempt to compile it. It compiles easily and 
works with AIM, but to get MSN support, it relies on mozilla's nss and 
nspr security, which are not where the gaim source expects them to be. 
It's a rather complicated thing to get it working.

Don't lose heart, tho. freshrpms actuall has 0.76 that has it all 
figured out for us the easiest thing to do is add freshrpms repository 
to your /etc/yum.conf file:

	[freshrpms YDL 3.0]
	name=Yellow Dog Linux 3.0 freshrpms
	baseurl=http://ayo.freshrpms.net/yellowdog/3.0/ppc/freshrpms

then run:

	yum update gaim

That should upgrade your gaim to 0.76

g'luck
