the directories given by t-b are completely different. yes, inside /usr/lib/purple-2 I do have said .so-file; however, I never manually moved it there (I didn't install the plug-in via HAM but manually downloaded the package provided here a few pages earlier, if that makes any difference; but for what I can remember, the author 'claimed' to upload the exact same version to the repository).

(side-note: but I did use this 'check' to "optify" the file )
