  GAIM has gnupg support also IIRR, or a plugin for its use, and is also cr=

platform.

  In a console, just do something like this:

QTDIR=3D/path/to/qt3/libs  (for example, mine are QTDIR=3D/usr/lib/qt3)
export QTDIR
rpm -ivh Psi.rpm (or ./configure, make, make install or checkinstall)

  This should be all you need to do to let the rpm or tarball know where=20
something is for it to use.

These guys looked dangerous...and hungry,
so to placate them until I found a shrubber,
I fed them an MSN butterfly. They dined
quite happily it seemed.
