Matthias,

I'm not sure if this is related to your problem with Pidgin's TLS  
error, but maybe.

For sometime, I've been building/using jabberd14-1.6.1.1 without  
problems. Recently, the distribution I use has had a new release in  
which the gnutls version jumped from 1.6.2 to 2.2.2; since then I  
can't compile jabberd14 any more. The reason is that the signature  
for the gnutls_certificate_set_openpgp_key_file() function has  
changed and so compilation fails during mio_tls.cc (line 634).

Could you consider providing a new jabberd14 release which uses the  
new function definition for gnutls_certificate_set_openpgp_key_file 
()? I imagine most Linux distributions will be using the newer gnutls  
soon and all will face the same problem.
