i used to have gaim on my system, and i need it back for work -- but i need version 0.70 out of unstable, the one that supports the yahoo protocol.
on a different (but similar) debian system, a month ago or so, i was
able to simply
apt-get install gaim -t unstable
and voilŕ, magic, it worked.
for whatever reason (that's for a different question), i can't grab
things off unstable with this system -- but i can from testing. i'm
now trying to get version 0.64 from testing.
on this one, everything downloads, unpacks, and installs fine, but
when trying to run it, i get the following errors:
orange:~> gaim
Pango:/usr/local/etc/pango/pangorc: Error opening config file: Permission denied
** (gaim:13804): WARNING **: No builtin or dynamically loaded modules
were found. Pango will not work correctly. This probably means
there was an error in the creation of:
'/usr/local/etc/pango/pango.modules'
You may be able to recreate this file by running pango-querymodules.
** (gaim:13804): WARNING **: Couldn't load font "Sans 10" falling back to "Sans 10"
** (gaim:13804): WARNING **: Couldn't load font "Sans 10" falling back to "Sans 10"
** (gaim:13804): WARNING **: All font failbacks failed!!!!
the file /usr/local/etc/pango/pangorc doesn't exist.
running pango-querymodules, like it suggests, generates the exact same
file that's currently in /usr/local/etc/pango/pango.modules.
i've never had install problems like this before ... and redownloading
libraries and things by themselves doesn't seem to fix it.
any ideas?
thanks,
</nori>
