I cant login to my gtalk account using bitlbee :

bitlbee server : jaina.renchap.com:6668 i have tried with another jabber account, does not work :(

Which SSL module are you using?

[renchap@…]

How can i see this ?

[wilmer]

If you have access to the machine that runs BitlBee, you can use ldd or check Makefile.settings in the build tree. Otherwise, there's no way to see this.

I assume that server's running Gentoo? There are known issues with BitlBee and Gentoo's version of OpenSSL.

ldd /usr/sbin/bitlbee
        linux-vdso.so.1 =>  (0x00007fff1f3fd000)
        libgmodule-2.0.so.0 => /usr/lib/libgmodule-2.0.so.0 (0x00002b1c8ba40000)

        libglib-2.0.so.0 => /usr/lib/libglib-2.0.so.0 (0x00002b1c8be48000)

        /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00002b1c8b814000)

It is bitlbee 1.2 gentoo package, you can find it here : ​http://gentoo-portage.com/AJAX/Ebuild/62731/View

Compiled with the following use flags : [code] [ebuild R ] net-im/bitlbee-1.2 USE="ipv6 jabber msn oscar ssl yahoo -debug -gnutls -nss -xinetd" 0 kB code

I have enabled the gnutls use flag, and it works now. Maybe you (or i) should open a bug in gentoo bugtracker.

Thanks a lot :)

That could be nice. There may be a problem in BitlBee as well, although so far this hasn't showed up on any other system than Gentoo, even though my Debian testing box has exactly the same (upstream) version of OpenSSL.

So if you could open a bug with the port maintainer, that'd be great. Is it possible to Cc me on it even though I don't have an account on their BTS?

I am getting the short write error described above on a copy of bitlbee I compiled from scratch from the development bzr branch with openssl on an Ubuntu 8.10 machine. I'm running the bitlbee server locally.

Here is the error showing up:

Here is the ldd output on my compiled binary:

        /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0xb7f43000)

I am going to try with gnutls instead and see if that resolves the problem, but I figure this does effectively open the issue back up as it's not gentoo-specific.
