For reference, here's how I currently have it built... [ebuild R ] net-im/bitlbee-1.2 USE="gnutls jabber msn oscar ssl yahoo -debug -ipv6 -nss -test -xinetd" 0 kB Works for me. :) Yeah, I think you need gnutls compiled in on Gentoo.

Version: 1.2 USE flags: jabber oscar ssl yahoo msn xinetd Thanks for any help :) Same problem… Gentoo box:

auto_connect =`true’
auto_reconnect = `true’
password is empty
username = `XXXXXXX@gmail.com’

priority = `0′
resource = `Home’
resource_select = `priority’
server = `talk.google.com’

Results in:

jabber - Logging in: Connecting

I’ve tried both port numbers, with and without TLS and I’m not even sure what the xmlconsole does, but I tried that too… No change…
