Gaim with SSL on Slackware-Current

Recently, Pat removed Mozilla-1.7.5 from Slackware-Current and replaced it with Mozilla-Firefox-1.0.1. I use a Jabber server that only accepts SSL connections, and after the upgrade to Mozilla-Firefox, Gaim failed to connect with the error, “SSL support unavailable”.

Gaim finds the nss and nsspr libs and the connection works perfectly, again 🙂
