GAIM compile error

GAIM compile error

[Peter R. Wood]

Hello,

I've contacted the authors of GAIM regarding this problem, but they don't
seem to have a clue about it so I thought I'd submit it here. I'm trying
to compile GAIM, the AOL instant messenger clone, from its CVS source.  I
get this error during the compile:

This is at the last step as it's about to link the object files in to the
gaim binary. If you're not familiar with the gaim source you can browse
the CVS repository at:

http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/gaim/src/?cvsroot=gaim

Note that's the src directory under the main distribution.

If you have any clues, please Cc: me since I read this in digest mode.

Thanks,

Peter

grr, more va_arg errors :)

Attached is a patch that I'll forward onto the maintainer.
