> How do I compile gaim-e?

First off, get the latest release of gaim, the source tarball.

tar zxvf gaim-0.57.tar.gz

Now, grab the gaim-e source from cvs:

cvs -z3 -d':pserver:ano...@cv...:/cvsroot/gaim-e'
co gaim-e

That will snag the sources and put them in a directory called gaim-e in
your current working directory.

change into the gaim-e directory, and 

cp * GAIMDIR/plugins/  

(replace GAIMDIR with the path to where you unpacked gaim

once you do that, cd to the plugin directory, and run the ./compile script

Cross your fingers, and if it work it will create gaim-e.so, copy that
into your gaim plugin directory... mine is /usr/lib/gaim/  Then you should
be able to load the plugin from the tools->plugins on the gaim toolbar.

Hope that helps
