Sure it does, but that is only after a compile-time error.

I was posting here because I strongly prefer configure-time errors over 
compile-time errors, so I wanted configure to have an additional check 
somewhere along the lines.

The question is more what exactly should be checked and whether the check 
should go into admin/ or in a configure.in.in in Kopete's tree.

Hmm, the only way to fix that is to have PSI use kssl instead of its own ssl 
implementation. But that's not up to Kopete to decide, that's a libpsi thing.

Looks like our copy of libpsi needs to be fixed locally and/or a local 
configure check is needed.

Compilation bails out on krb5.h, which is a Kerberos v5 include AFAIK.

Anyway, looks like the SSL thing is ours to deal with and not something for 
admin/. I mistakenly read kssl.h as the KSSL from kdelibs, sorry :)

The libart issue still remains though.
