Next.. I'm trying to compile the new release of Gaim. All is going well, it detects the platform, and compiles for quite a long time.. however, it then complains about multiple definitions of _dlsym. The last few lines of the compile process:

/bin/sh ../libtool --silent --mode=link gcc -g -O2 -I/usr/local/include -I/opt/include -I.. -I/sw/include -DNEED_GNOMESUPPORT_H -I/sw/lib/gnome-libs/include -I/sw/include/gtk-1.2 -I/sw/include/glib-1.2 -I/sw/lib/glib/include -I/usr/X11R6/include -I/sw/include -I/sw/include/gtk-1.2 -I/sw/include/glib-1.2 -I/sw/lib/glib/include -I/usr/X11R6/include -I/sw/include -g -pipe -pipe -fno-common -DHAS_TELLDIR_PROTOTYPE -fno-strict-aliasing -I/System/Library/Perl/darwin/CORE -DLOCALEDIR=\"/usr/local/share/locale\" -DLIBDIR=\"/usr/local/lib/gaim/\" -o gaim -export-dynamic about.o aim.o applet.o away.o browser.o buddy.o buddy_chat.o conversation.o dialogs.o gaimrc.o gtkimhtml.o gtkspell.o gtkticker.o html.o idle.o multi.o perl.o plugins.o prefs.o proxy.o prpl.o server.o sound.o ticker.o util.o getopt.o getopt1.o -L/sw/lib -L/usr/X11R6/lib -lgnomeui -lart_lgpl -lgdk_imlib -lSM -lICE -lgtk -lgdk -lgmodule -lintl -lXext -lX11 -lgnome -lgnomesupport -lesd -laudiofile -lm -lglib -ldl -L/sw/lib -lgdk_pixbuf -L/sw/lib -L/usr/X11R6/lib -lgtk -lgdk -lgmodule -lglib -ldl -lintl -lXext -lX11 -lm -L/sw/lib -lesd -laudiofile -lm protocols/oscar/liboscar.a protocols/toc/libtoc.a /System/Library/Perl/darwin/auto/DynaLoader/DynaLoader.a -L/System/Library/Perl/darwin/CORE -lperl -lm -lc -lXss ../intl/libintl.a -liconv

Sorry so long, hope it will help. I appreciate anything you can do to help me out.. I was so sure it was going to work on the first try!

Keep up the fantastic work, I check back often.

PERL_LIBS = PERL_LIBS = /System/Library/Perl/darwin/auto/DynaLoader/DynaLoader.a -L/System/Library/Perl/darwin/CORE -lperl -lm -lc

now reads

PERL_LIBS = -L/System/Library/Perl/darwin/CORE -lperl -lm -lc

....

however after making all the plugins, execution stops at the line:

/bin/sh ../libtool --silent --mode=link gcc -g -O2 -I/usr/local/include -I/opt/include -I.. -I/sw/include -DNEED_GNOMESUPPORT_H -I/sw/lib/gnome-libs/include -I/sw/include/gtk-1.2 -I/sw/include/glib-1.2 -I/sw/lib/glib/include -I/usr/X11R6/include -I/sw/include -I/sw/include/gtk-1.2 -I/sw/include/glib-1.2 -I/sw/lib/glib/include -I/usr/X11R6/include -I/sw/include -g -pipe -pipe -fno-common -DHAS_TELLDIR_PROTOTYPE -fno-strict-aliasing -I/System/Library/Perl/darwin/CORE -DLOCALEDIR=\"/usr/local/share/locale\" -DLIBDIR=\"/usr/local/lib/gaim/\" -o gaim -export-dynamic about.o aim.o applet.o away.o browser.o buddy.o buddy_chat.o conversation.o dialogs.o gaimrc.o gtkimhtml.o gtkspell.o gtkticker.o html.o idle.o multi.o perl.o plugins.o prefs.o proxy.o prpl.o server.o sound.o ticker.o util.o getopt.o getopt1.o -L/sw/lib -L/usr/X11R6/lib -lgnomeui -lart_lgpl -lgdk_imlib -lSM -lICE -lgtk -lgdk -lgmodule -lintl -lXext -lX11 -lgnome -lgnomesupport -lesd -laudiofile -lm -lglib -ldl -L/sw/lib -lgdk_pixbuf -L/sw/lib -L/usr/X11R6/lib -lgtk -lgdk -lgmodule -lglib -ldl -lintl -lXext -lX11 -lm -L/sw/lib -lesd -laudiofile -lm protocols/oscar/liboscar.a protocols/toc/libtoc.a -L/System/Library/Perl/darwin/CORE -lperl -lm -lc -lXss ../intl/libintl.a -liconv

and dies. So, we're getting closer, but it looks as though it's wanting something that was in the part I took out. Any suggestions?

Thanks.. I'm learning (slowly)
