[JDEV] RE: [jadmin] Using aim-transport with a socks proxy. Anyone?

[Paul T. Clegg]

Pat (and all),

I did some experimenting today with modifying
sessions.c to call aim_setupproxy with appropriate
proxy info each time a new connection is created.

That appears to be working as far as registering,
connecting, adding contacts, and sending messages.

However, when I receive a message from an AIM user,
the jabberd hosting aim-transport.so dumps immediately
with the following output:

Wed Jun  4 16:54:55 2003  sessions.c:1064 [AIM]

./jabberd/jabberd: relocation error:
./aim-transport-stable-20030314/src/aimtrans.so:
undefined symbol: __ctype_b_loc

Any help would be appreciated, as I imagine that proxy
support would be useful to a lot of us corporate
users.
