Thing is, when the app you want depends on a different version of libc6, it's a bit awkward... Got gaim to compile eventually, but it doesn't work properly: with a new user, it waits forever trying to download the buddy list - which doesn't exist yet of course; with an existing user, it says "You are not logged on with a protocol that allows you to chat"... guess their new MSN protocol needs a bit more work yet. -- Pigeon Be kind to pigeons Get my GPG key here: http://pgp.mit.edu:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0x21C61F7F
