Title: Gaim 0.4 ISO-8859-1->UTF-8 in OZ
Post by: chrisg on August 05, 2004, 04:50:57 pm

Hi all,

I just installed Gaim on my Z with OZ3.3.5 installed. Receiving messages comes with message "There was an error receiving the message", the concole saying that there is no rule for converting ISO-8859-1 to UTF-8. I browsed the internet finding the info that I just have to install the gconv-modules package and finally link
/usr/lib/gconv to /lib/gconv. But this won't work either.
Any other ideas? How to find more infos? Make Gaim more verbosive?

What do you mean? What happens - they can't be installed or they make no difference?

You are following these instructions here?: http://qpe-gaim.sourceforge.net/installing.php (http://qpe-gaim.sourceforge.net/installing.php)

Worked fine for me with OZ3.3.6pre1 (using MSN I hasten to add).

Installing works fine for gconv-tiny or gconv-modules. Afterwards I successfully link these gconv-directory with "ln -s", no problem. But the error within Gaim on receiving messages still occurs.

The instructions I linked don't show 'ln -s'

What I did worked for MSN, does MSN work for you? If it does then I can't help anymore as you've got a problem I've not met, if it still comes up with the same error then perhaps start again and follow the instructions (and use the files) which I linked to.
