Gossip

Gossip has pulled Telepathy support and so is no longer of any use to Telepathy users. Take a look at Empathy instead.

    svn co http://svn.gnome.org/svn/gossip/trunk
  3. Run: 
    ./autogen.sh --disable-scrollkeeper --prefix=<your prefix> --enable-telepathy=yes
    make; make install

Debug/Bug report

If gossip crashes and you want to report the bug, please open a new bug on Gnome's bugzilla with that information:

1. A useful backtrace of the crash. Please install debug package of gossip-telepathy if you use Ubuntu's package ! it can be found there: 

deb http://people.ubuntu.com/~pitti/ddebs feisty main universe multiverse restricted

2. The output of gossip when starting it that way 

$ GOSSIP_DEBUG=all gossip

3. If you see in gossip's output something like «Connection destroyed, CM crashed ?» please include debug messages of your Connection Manager (and useful backtrace if it crashes). For Gabble you can get by launching it before gossip like that: 

$ LM_DEBUG=net GABBLE_DEBUG=all telepathy-gabble
