Peter, i tried another approach. i just read that qq has been merged with the new gaim, called pidgin, so i attempted to install pidgin. i was able to configure the source but compile died in the 'make'. with the .rpm i got a .deb file, which i then did 'dpkg -i' on. e'thing seemed to go normally, but after the 'setting up' message, nothing was on the system for pidgin. below is the session.
