I installed the GAIM .dsl.  Looked good.  Program ran and everything.  However, when I closed the program and reopened it, I had to reload all of my info.  This happens every time I close GAIM.  Kinda sucks when you have 4 different account to load.  So, I tried running the .dsl again and it gave me an error about /var/tmp/mydsl.icon not being there.  So I created the directory and it gave me another error.  This time it was rm something and gave me a permission denied.  So, I reinstalled 1.2 and still got the same error.  I went back to DSL 1.1 and GAIM works fine.  Is anyone else having these problems or is it just me?

Thanks again,
Jesse

Yep, still the same problem.  Its on a 1.2 HD install.  When I run the gaim-1.0.0.dsl from emelfm, I get the following message
Code Sample

mount:  secial device /var/tmp/mydsl.icons does not exist
umount:  /home/dsl.xtdesktop:  not mounted
ls:  var/tmp/mydsl.icons:  No such file or directory
rm:  cannot remove `/var/tmp/mydsl.menu/gaim-1.0.0':  Permission denied


Anyone have any ideas or have seen this problem?  I've tried both versions of gaim.  The newer version doesn't even show up with AOL, Yahoo, MSN accounts so I can't use it.  Besides, it still loses what account info I put in.

I've went back to DSL 1.1 and it works fun on there.
I never install .dsl's in root or sudo so that is not a problem.  This is from a baby fresh HD install.

Hope you guys can help.
Thanks
Jesse
