From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.2) Gecko/20021210 Description of problem: I have downloaded the SRPM for gaim-0.71-0 from Rawhide, compiled it an noticed that if mozilla-nspr-devel is not installed, the configure script for the product is unable to find the required SSL library. As a result of this, the MSN plugin doesn't work. After installing the mozilla-nspr and mozilla-nspr-devel packages the configure script detected Mozilla/NSS as the SSL library to use and the MSN plugin works fine. The SPEC file for gaim should contain in addition to the existing requirements: Requires: mozilla-nspr BuildRequires: mozilla-nspr-devel Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gaim-0.71-0 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Remove mozilla-nspr-devel package 2.Compile and install gaim 3.Try to access an account using the MSN plugin Actual Results: At start, gaim attempt to load the MSN plugin but instead, got the message: Gaim was unable to load your plugin. The required plugin MSN was unable to load. Expected Results: The MSN plugin should load and login to the configured MSN account. Additional info: I have done the test using RedHat-9 and RedHat-7.3 to rebuild the RPM using the SRPM from RawHide with the same results.
The buildrequires in rawhide are correct. On the system you're testing on, nss-devel doesn't require nspr-devel. I'm not going to go and fix this for old systems since that's not what that rpm is targetted at.
