Please install the exact matching gaim debuginfo RPM and get a stack trace
following the directions on these pages.

Comment 4 Stu Tomlinson 2006-12-14 13:33:50 UTC
debuginfo RPMs are not in yum default repos, this is the RPM you need:
http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/updates/6/i386/debug/gaim-debuginfo-2.0.0-0.26.beta5.fc6.i386.rpm

Comment 5 Nigel Horne 2006-12-19 15:34:52 UTC
RPM installed, but the stack trace doesn't seem much help, so I did a "run"
within gdb, and still no useful output.

I followed your instructions. If they caused me to install something wrong
please send me the correct instructions.

Comment 7 Nathanael Noblet 2007-02-02 17:38:02 UTC
Same issues for me with FC6 x86_64. I have two accounts, msn and irc. It seems
to be the irc account's 'fault'. I even installed the beta6 directly from gaim,
same issue. I'll re-install the FC6 debuginfo package and see if I can provide
anything.
