Sorry, that's what I meant to say, /usr/local. As a matter of fact,
the files for Gaim are installed in /usr/local in my system (really
/mnt/live/images/usr/local, since it is a tmpfs file system, but
expects programs to look, correctly, into /usr/*, which it is the
way it works). All other programs have no problem with this, only 
Gaim, because as default, if installed within a tmmpfs file system,
it looks into /mnt/live/images/usr/local for its files.
