When I try to run gaim I get the following error.  I am running DSL off of a pendrive.  I am not sure how to fix this problem, any help would be appreciated.

You need to run the Update_to_Gtk2 on the mydsl section of the menu.

FWIW, I've got gaim running using DSL 2.2 on an ancient 486DX/75.  I did run the Gtk2 updater first though.  But it's quite happily acting as an MSN messenger client.
