    <title>Installation of Gaim</title>

    <para>To connect with MSN you will need to compile
    <application>Gaim</application> with SSL support. For this you will need to
    have already installed <application>libgpg-error</application>,
    <application>libgcrypt</application>
    and <application>GnuTLS</application> compiled in that order. Use of the
    <application>Mozilla</application> SSL library is deprecated.</para>

    <para>To compile <application>Gaim</application> with audio support, first
    install <xref linkend="libao"/>.</para>

    <para>Compile <application>Gaim</application> by running the following
    commands:</para>

<screen><userinput>./configure --prefix=/usr &amp;&amp;
make</userinput></screen>

    <para>If you want to compile <application>Gaim</application> with support
    for <xref linkend="nas"/>, configure it like this:</para>

<screen><userinput>CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/X11R6/include" ./configure --prefix=/usr \
    --enable-nas &amp;&amp;
make</userinput></screen>

    <para>To test the results, issue: <command>make check</command>.</para>

    <para>Now, as the <systemitem class="username">root</systemitem> user:</para>

<screen role="root"><userinput>make install</userinput></screen>

  <sect2 role="commands">
    <title>Command Explanations</title>

    <para><command>CPPFLAGS=...--enable-nas</command>: To avoid a compilation
    error the <filename>configure</filename> script needs to be told to look
    for the <application>NAS</application> header files in /usr/X11R6/include.
