solution (Was Re: [JDEV] Problem getting aim-transport to compile on red hat 6.2)

[David Waite]

I actually ran into this wednesday - it appears that the libetherx included in
the dists/aim-transport directory for 0.8.5 is an old version, not compatible
with the 1.2 release. Grab libetherx from the cvs dir (or directly from CVS) to
build it. You will need the various automake tools to do this.
