The errors with both jabber and oscar are misleading because
libjabber.so and liboscar.so are not actually protocol plugins.  The
libraries libaim.so and libicq.com and libxmpp.so are however.  Those
three plugins search for liboscar.so or libjabber.so, which seem to be
there, but clearly they are not being found, which means that your
environment is not properly searching /home/flash/wang/lib/purple-2/ for
them.  You should verify that your libraries are installed in the place
you ./configured them to be.

Can you provide a debug log from the failing yahoo connection?

You should probably check with the silc toolkit developers to find out
how to make that package compile.  We do not compile it ourselves and
depend on it existing on the target system already, so it's not
something we have much experience with building.
