I'm using Fedora Core 2 but i don;t experience the problems ur facing. I can connect to MSN perfectly.
OP
I can also run it fine using Kopete program, however Gaim gives me this:
"Niels has been disconnected.

SSL support is needed for MSN. Please install a supported SSL library. See http://gaim.sf.net/faq-ssl.hp for more inforamtion"
I went to that URL but it didnt help..
So where can I get a supported SSL library ?

whats up with if you chose MSN though, you type in "screen name" password and "alias" ..
where do i write my email? its not hotmail.com but a .net i got, and is alias or screen name my "nick" when messaging ?

I've had problems with Gaim trying to use Yahoo Messenger. The last release kept saying my password was invalid. I did a RPM-Update with apt-get rpm, there was a fix in there and now it's working fine.
What distro are you using? I would make sure I had the latest updated version.

I have Red Hat 9, and I get that same error. I installed apt, but when I try to update, the connection times out. The server it's trying to contact is down. Does ANYBODY know where to get the libraries for ssl for gaim?
kutashi: if you have RH9, then 'rpm -Uhv' this rpm.
phos: you using Fedora? if so, then 'rpm -Uhv' the gaim package
(not gaim-src, gaim-debug, gaim.tar, or gaim.mdk) from one of
these Fedora mirrors.
