[gentoo-user] naim asks for password then nothing

Howdy all,

	I'm trying to get naim to work, but am having no success so far.  When
I type /connect S/N, it asks me to type my password and then hit enter.
 I type the password, hit enter, and then nothing.  Any ideas?

Not a suggestion per se, but, my personal experience says to just give
up. There was once a period where it was my aim client of
choice between 2002 - 2004, and sometime around 2005 the connection
becomes flaky and I haven't been able to get it connect a single time
in 2006.  And incidentally, the current stable naim release is just
about that old I think. 

That said, if you do find a solution, I'd much appreciate if you post
it here. Also, you could try contacting upstream http://naim.n.ml.org
I hear they are good people and very willing to help. 

(Also, have you made sure your account is not suspended? I.e. try
logging on using another AIM client?)

Best,

I'll see what upstream says - thanks!

Yeah, I can log onto gaim just fine on a different machine, but the
particular machine I'd like to try naim on isn't going to have X.

Thanks!

It seems to be a versioning problem.  The stable version of naim in
portage is quite outdated (from 2004) and the newest version was
released in October 2006.  There is a bug report[1] for the version
bump, and the new version is in ~arch for several architectures.

Hopefully it will stabilize sometime soon :)

It's been in the tree for only 10 days. Wait till it's been in the tree for 30 
days and then file a new bug requesting stabilization on your arch(es). In 
the mean time just use package.keywords for that package. It's not like 
keywording it stable now magically makes it more stable.

Hum, you are right. I just emerged the latest ~x86 on my testing box
and it connects like a charm.
