with x86_64 I get the error: plugins: /usr/lib64/gaim/gaim-rhythmbox.so is unloadable: liboscar.so: Kann die Shared-Object-Datei nicht öffnen: Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden (last part is German, means 'unable to open shared-object-file: file or folder not found') I use gaim 1:1.5.0-16.fc5 and gaim-rhythmbox 1.5.0.1-1.fc5, both for x86_64-architecture. Is this problem known and maybe fixed in FC6 (one factor more for me to upgrade...) Thanks, happy new year, Renke
liboscar.so is another GAIM module in /usr/lib64/gaim/liboscar.so As why it isn't found needs the investigation from somebody with an x86_64 machine. In the source it's linked as -loscar, which would fail at run-time when it's located in /usr/lib64/gaim/ which is outside run-time linker's search path. FC6 doesn't appear to be affected.
FC6 uses a different version of the plugin. The easy solution is to install FC6's gaim and gaim-rhythmbox on your FC5 system. I'll take a look at the problem this weekend.
Fixed in the next version. Before it's available in the repository, you can run gaim with LD_LIBRARY_PATH set to /usr/lib64/gaim
