Rebuilt:

[tap at vimes tap]$ find /usr/local/lib -name '*msn*'
/usr/local/lib/kde3/kopete_msn.so
/usr/local/lib/kde3/kopete_msn.la
/usr/local/lib/kde3/kcm_kopete_msn.so
/usr/local/lib/kde3/kcm_kopete_msn.la
/usr/local/lib/libkopete_msn_shared.so.0
/usr/local/lib/libkopete_msn_shared.so
/usr/local/lib/libkopete_msn_shared.la

(so it seems the "NAMING" problem wasn't the cause. I actually checked 
the previous installation and there were no clashes)

and Tested:

MSN is checked to be loaded in the options, on loading from a konsole I 
get (debug split into separate lines for clarity)

----

When trying to add an MSN account gives "Impossible to load the protocol 
'MSN Messenger'" dialog, and the konsole again shows the debug

If someone can tell me what file should contain that symbol, and the 
relevent nm-type magic to run against it, I can post the results.

Right now, I can see that

find /usr/local/lib -name '*msn*' -exec grep init_kopete_msn {} \;
Binary file /usr/local/lib/libkopete_msn_shared.so.0 matches
Binary file /usr/local/lib/libkopete_msn_shared.so matches


Should the symbol be in this lib, or in the kopete_msn.so (as seemingly 
implied in the debug output)?

If anyone needs further info about this, just let me know.

Cheers,

Andy
