-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I recommend you updating your source using cvsup, cd /usr/ports/net/gaim && make install clean. If it complains about an older version already installed just install portupgrade /usr/ports/sysutils/portupgrade. when portupgrade is installed run the following command as root #portupgrade gaim That will get the latest version of gaim (which is 0.73) I am using FreeBSD 4.8-RELEASE-p13 and Gaim 0.73 works just fine. Don't know anything about the msn protocol cause I don't use msn but with what I use it for (aim + yahoo) it works just fine.
