[OTR-users] Problem with otr 3.0.0 and gaim 2 beta 6 (Installed but not showing in plugins list)

[Matt Joyce]

Err correction, locate libotr.so.2 told be exactly where the file is:

mjoyce at zeus ~ $ locate libotr.so.2
/home/mjoyce/Desktop/libotr-3.0.0/src/.libs/libotr.so.2.0.0
/home/mjoyce/Desktop/libotr-3.0.0/src/.libs/libotr.so.2
/usr/local/lib/libotr.so.2.0.0
/usr/local/lib/libotr.so.2

So its in /usr/local/lib so how then can I tell gaim-otr that is where
it is so that it actually finds it when it is looking for it?
