I think I better jot this down somewhere before I forget.

How to: Getting GAIM working on the Sharp TOSA.

The procedure would be as follows

1. Install
1. zlib 1.1.2 (zlib 1.2.1 causes msn login no response)
2. libopie1 1.0.2
3. libglib
4. gconv-tiny
5. libgcrypt1
6. libgnutls (requires libopie1 1.0.2)
7. libgaim-ssl (requires libopie1 1.0.2)
8. libgaim-protocal-msn (For MSN)
9. libgaim-protocol-oscar (For ICQ / AIM)
2. Do the libpng + fix (icon display)
1. Copy libpng.so.2.1.0.9 into the /usr/lib folder
2. cd /usr/lib
3. ln -sf libpng.so.2.1.0.9 libpng12.so
4. ln -sf libpng.so.2.1.0.9 libpng12.so.0
5. ln -sf libpng.so.2.1.0.9 libpng12.so.0.1.2.5
3. Install libgaim
4. Install qpe-gaim (requires libgaim)
5. Finish

A working copy of GAIM. Next would be to add the IM accounts and woohoo.
