[Telepathy] empathy/mission-control/telepathy in non-standard directory

[Rainer Dorsch]

Hello,

I am installing empathy/mission-control/telepathy in a non-standard 
directory /opt/gtalk. Everything builds and installs fine, when I start 
empathy, I cannot create accounts, because no backends are found:

In the accounts dialog I get:

****************************

No Accounts Configured

To add a new account, you first have to install a backend for each protocol 
you want to use.

******************************

The Add button is disabled, which makes me concluding that no backend was 
found at all.

This is confirmed by the code segment


empathy/libempathy-gtk/empathy-accounts-dialog.c:
                if (empathy_profile_chooser_n_profiles 
(dialog->combobox_profile) > 0) {
                        string = g_string_new (_("To add a new account, you 
can click on the "
                                                 "'Add' button and a new entry 
will be created "
                                                 "for you to start 
configuring."));
                } else {
                        string = g_string_new (_("To add a new account, you 
first have to "
                                                 "install a backend for each 
protocol "
                                                 "you want to use."));
                }


Seems telepathy is unable to find any connection manager which I installed, in 
particular I am going for gabble 0.6.1 (?)


Not sure where to go from here. Can somebody point to a telepathy code segment 
which is used to find the available connection managers? Is that using DBUS?

Also a review of my build and run scripts would be very welcome.

Many thanks,
Rainer
