[OTR-users] otr plugin doesn't show up

[Greg Troxel]

You didn't mention what system you are using (VMS?  DG-UX? AIX?
Solaris? :-).  But, the error message indicates that whe gaim tried to
dynamic link the plugin, some libaries couldn't be resolved.

Try doing

 ldd /usr/local/lib/giam/gaim-otr.so

On my system (NetBSD, still with older OTR), I get

gdt 144 ~ > ldd /usr/pkg/lib/gaim/gaim-otr.so 
/usr/pkg/lib/gaim/gaim-otr.so:
        -lintl.0 => /usr/lib/libintl.so.0
        -lgpg-error.0 => /usr/pkg/lib/libgpg-error.so.0
        -lgcrypt.11 => /usr/pkg/lib/libgcrypt.so.11
        -lotr.1 => /usr/pkg/lib/libotr.so.1


Likely problems are that libotr.so is not really in /usr/local/lib,
that /usr/local/lib is not in the default library search path, or that
gaim-otr was built without the correct -rpath settings.
