Comment 5 for bug 1204588

I've tried compiling 0.17.5 myself, but it doesn't seem to correct the problem.

I am not entirely sure that I installed it correctly, though, is there a way to check that empathy is using the correct telepaty-gabble version?

I've downloaded the 0.17.5 release from here: http://cgit.freedesktop.org/telepathy/telepathy-gabble
To compile I've done

    $ cd /path/to/extracted/src/
    $ ./configure
    $ make
    $ sudo make install

other info:

    $ lsb_release -a
    No LSB modules are available.
    Distributor ID: Ubuntu
    Description: Ubuntu 13.04
    Release: 13.04
    Codename: raring

    $ empathy --version
    Empathy 3.6.4

I use a 64 bit distribution.
