Thank you for creating and sharing the fixed libpurple qole. I do understand the desire to use the builtin chat over pidgin as I have used the same since around the time of it's release. My method of installing what appears to be a working rtcomm was a bit more simple however. I had just refllashed - installed pidgin from extras and the updated the 1 file using your libpurple.... I don't even think I used red pill mode to do so. Pidgin seemed to work now (icq) but it was missing a couple of the other services (google and jabber)
Then for Rtcomm, I manually entered the rtcomm and collabora catalogs as I've always done and then installed rtcomm 2.4 from extras. Rebooted and now I seem to have working ICQ and MSN (as well as the rest, but not sure about linklocal which I've never used.) So unless I missing something and things are not really working as they appear, Thank you
PS what I don't know, but hope, is that I can now remove pidgin without breaking rtcomm and that if I reflash again in the future and rtcomm has still not been officially fixed, that i can skip pidgin and just install rtcomm from extras and then install your ssinggle patch file after.
EDIT Well I remove everything and started over just to see. Intalled Rrtcomm from extras with rtcomm and collabora added manually and enabled... rebooted then installed yourr libpurple patch (regular user, not red pill) and rebooted. Everything "seeems" to work, Thanks!
