Okay so I have almost gotten the newest Gaim to compile and install.
Its been a headache kinda but Ive got everything I need setup I think just running into a couple more snags maybe someone here can help with..

Running into some trouble compiling either the CVS latest source, or the 0.59.8 source.
I can use apt-get or Fink and install 0.59.6 but Im trying to stay up to date!

When I try to compile .59.8, I can run the ./configure script just fine. Then when I try to use make I get the following errors:
make[2]: *** [autorecon.so] Error 1
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make: *** [all-recursive-am] Error 2

I dont know if I can use gmake on Mac OS X so possibly this is the problem??

Now when I try to compile the CVS release, whichi I believe is 0.60,  I get this error running the ./autogen.sh script:
./configure: line 11569: syntax error near unexpected token `PKG_CHECK_MODULES(GTKSPELL,'
./configure: line 11569: ` PKG_CHECK_MODULES(GTKSPELL, gtkspell-2.0 >= 2.0.2, , enable_gtkspell=no)'


At first I had to fight with it getting to see Gtk+2 installed but finally managed to get that to show up and work. Now I get this. Tried to install gtkspell, but that is telling me I am missing the dev files for aspell. I have aspell 0.50.2 installed (using apt-get) but cant find anything about a package or source for the libaspell files I think I need. Or are these installed when you compile and install aspell?

I even tried it using ./configure --disable-gtkspell, but that same error message still comes up.

So any ideas or should I just give up and wait until someone makes Gaim .60 compatible with Mac OS X??

Or if anyone knows, is there a way to make Fink compile from source I have on my machine already? Or is the only way to let it gets it own source like it always does? Tried finding some kinda options for this in Fink Commander but no dice there unless I missed it!
