[Telepathy] To add a new account, you first have to install a backend

[Rainer Dorsch]

Hello,

I did a compile of empathy svn on Debian etch in a side directory, something 
along the lines

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/gtalk/lib/:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/opt/gtalk/lib/pkgconfig

deps="glib-2.14.2 libtelepathy-0.2.0 telepathy-mission-control-4.49 
glib-2.14.2 gtk+-2.12.1 pango-1.18.3 telepathy-gabble-0.6.0.tar.gz 
dbus-glib-0.74 telepathy-glib-0.6.0 telepathy-gabble-0.6.0"

rm -rf /opt/gtalk empathy/

for p in $deps; do
  rm -rf $p
  tar xvfj $p.tar.bz2
  cd $p
  ./configure --prefix=/opt/gtalk
  make
  make install
  cd ..
done

date
svn co svn://svn.gnome.org/svn/empathy/trunk empathy
cd empathy
./autogen.sh --prefix=/opt/gtalk
make
make install

After that empathy starts up, but I cannot configure account. When I try to do 
so, I get

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


I want to use jabber/jingle. I hoped that gabble would be sufficient to 
install.

Does the missing backend message mean

Empathy does not find telepathy?

Telepathy does not find the gabble backend?

Has anybody an idea what I could check why?

Many thanks,
Rainer
