We need to upgrade libsilc to the latest upstream version. pidgin is the only user of libsilc, and pidgin is being upgraded to solve several other bugs including Bug #489484.
Created attachment 504468 [details] new spec file for SILC Toolkit 1.1.10 I attached updated libsilc.spec. It has been tested against latest upstream SILC Toolkit 1.1.10, downloadable from here: http://silcnet.org/download/toolkit/sources/silc-toolkit-1.1.10.tar.bz2 I didn't try to use the library with any SILC client yet. I tested building on RHEL 5.6 and RHEL 6.1.
