What steps will reproduce the problem? 1. download the stable tarball/svn version 2. try to build it using the good ol' method 3. make.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

the plugin should be built, but instead make complains about a bad conversion error, or other ones if i try to build it from svn.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

recent (svn, and tarball) versions of the plugin; kubuntu 11.10 64-bit

Please provide any additional information below.

tried CXXFLAGS+=-fpermissive, but did not work in either case (produced the same output).

in the tarball version change the 423. line in xf_server.cpp from : XfireContact *from = static_castfindContact(sid->sid()));

to: XfireContact *from = ( XfireContact *)(m_account->findContact(sid->sid()));

compiled, tested working!
