I have an account with MSN, that I'd like to use, but I am unable to get started as per the online gaim instructions: Q] How do I use MSN, Yahoo, Jabber, IRC, Gadu-Gadu, Napster, or Zephyr?=20 Ans] First load the plugin. Protocol plugins come with Gaim, so just go to the Plugins dialog (Tools->Plugins, or the Plugins button on the start screen) and then click "Load." The protocol plugins are named libprotocol.so, so MSN for instance is provided by libmsn.so. When I click on the gaim icon, the "GAIM Login" applet appears, no "Tools" button appears, but there is a "Plugins" button. Clicking on "Plugins" brings up the plugins applet, but there're the panel on the left (Loaded Plugins) is blank - as such, there's nothing available to "Load". Also, I check the man pages for Gaim, which says that /usr/local/lib/gaim is where I should find all available plugins, but that dir does *not* exist: $ ls -la /usr/local/lib/gaim ls: /usr/local/lib/gaim: No such file or directory $=20 Like I said, I've only installed this just a few minutes ago, and there weren't any dialoge / user input required stages, so where've I gone wrong here? I'd appreciate some help with this from someone that's got Gaim working on FreeBSD.
