[JDEV] Problem getting aim-transport to compile on red hat 6.2

[Mickey Yalon]

Okay, I know that the have been a number of similiar posts to
this list, resulting in a bunch of different advice for this specific
problem.  I know becuase I've looked at them all and none of the 
advice works..  I've been banging my head against this for more than
a day now to no avail and would appreciate any help.

Here's the problem.

I compile jabber-1.2 on an x86 system running redhat 6.2
with out any problems (this was much smoother that previous builds :)

I then downloaded the latest version of the aim-transport 0.8.5 and after
compiling and installing its dependencies libethererx-1.2 and libfaim-snap
without a hitch I try to install the aim transport.
The config script runs through fine but when I run make I get the following
error:
	/bin/sh ../libtool --mode=link gcc  -g -O2  -o aimtrans
-L/usr/local/lib -rdynamic -static -ljabber     -letherx -	lxode auth.o
buddies.o external.o iq.o main.o messages.o parser.o pres.o register.o
s10n.o sessions.o utils.o 	unknown.o -lfaim -ljabber -letherx -lpth 
	gcc -g -O2 -o aimtrans -L/usr/local/lib -rdynamic -ljabber -letherx
-lxode auth.o buddies.o external.o iq.o main.o 	messages.o parser.o pres.o
register.o s10n.o sessions.o utils.o unknown.o -lfaim -ljabber -letherx
-lpth
	/usr/local/lib/libetherx.so: undefined reference to `pool_label'
	
so it looks like libetherx is trying to reference 'pool_label' which it can
not find,
according to previous responses this is most likely due to a conflicting
older
version of libetherx on the system or an old version of libfaim, however
this was a clean OS install that never had jabber on it before and to the
best of my 
knowledge I have the latest version of libfaim...  I tried reverting back to
previos versions
of every library but this didn't help at all, so now I'm stuck and could use
your help.

Thanks,
Mickey
