| 3 | This information was compiled by [mailto:stu@nosnilmot.com Stu Tomlinson] with much help from [irc://chat.freenode.net/pidgin #pidgin]. In summary: you need GNUTLS or Mozilla NSS & NSPR; OpenSSL will not do. |

10 | 10 | Mozilla 1.5 will not provide all the pieces for NSPR and NSS due to breakage in Mozilla that prevents the installation of some header (.h) files. You might be able to install mozilla-{nss,nspr}{,-devel} from mozilla 1.4, or install NSS from source, in parallel and link against those for libpurple. Or just use GNUTLS. |
