you should submit this ebuild or a better version to bugs.gentoo.org so gentoo users find it ;-)

I have solved this by using

I have solved this by using lates SVN snapshot. Also it seems the things are mostly solved in devel version (at least to my observation). So if you would want to give it a try, I attach my ebuild, which does build ejabberd on gentoo from SVN. Its basically the copy of the latest tar based ebuild, so nothing much spectacular ;-). Also beware it does not use sasl in run script.

I have same errors. Probably

I have same errors. Probably this bug explain why ejabberd can't lookup users from LDAP:
https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=188679
but included patch not work for my gentoo machine :(

Hmm, thanks for pointing

risa2000 — Mon, 20 Aug 2007 16:36:01 +0000

Hmm, thanks for pointing that out. I have been using old 1.1.3 version doc from ejabbered web site and had to figure that out from sources :(.

Is the ejabberd guide in SVN up to date

mfoss — Mon, 20 Aug 2007 16:05:50 +0000

It seems the ejabberd guide in SVN is up to date with the SVN source code, right?
