Hey Adam,

I fought with this for about three hours the other night. Go to Gaim's 
faq-ssl:

http://gaim.sourceforge.net/faq-ssl.php

I used the GnuTLS tools.

libgpg-error (needed by libgcrypt): 
ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/gcrypt/alpha/libgpg-error/libgpg-error-0.5.tar.gz

libgcrypt (needed by GnuTLS): 
ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/gcrypt/alpha/libgcrypt/libgcrypt-1.1.43.tar.gz

libtasn1 (needed by GnuTLS): 
ftp://ftp.gnutls.org/pub/gnutls/libtasn1/libtasn1-0.2.6.tar.gz

GnuTLS (needed by gaim): 
ftp://ftp.gnutls.org/pub/gnutls/attic/gnutls-0.9.91.tar.gz

As the page says, instal them in that order. After doing so, download 
the latest source for Gaim .075. Unpack it and then do a "./configure  
--with-gnutls-includes=PREFIX (Location of GNUTLS includes.)
  --with-gnutls-libs=PREFIX (Location of GNUTLS libraries.)"


eg.. Mine looked like this:

"./configure --disable-nls --disable-perl 
--with-gnutls-includes=/usr/local/lib/ --with-gnutls-libs=/usr/local/lib/"

I only know English so, --disable-nls and for some reason I can't get 
perl to compile with it so, --disable-perl.

Everything worked fine after that. Hope this helps you.

Michael
