-The notes below on installing NSS and NSPR will probably be helpful.
+If you have multiple versions of Mozilla installed, you might have some problems with which version is detected by `./configure` and which libs are used at runtime. This is because, by default, `./configure` uses pkg-config to find the Mozilla NSS and NSPR libs and includes. If you explicitly specify the Mozilla libs and includes to use with the --with-{nss,nspr}-{includes,libs} options to `./configure` then pkg-config will not be used, and you might have more success.
+
+The notes below on installing NSS and NSPR as non-root will probably be helpful, even if not exactly what you want.

+=== GNUTLS ===
+IRC user sofar provided this information.  You need to compile things in a specific order here--start with [ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/gcrypt/alpha/libgpg-error/libgpg-error-0.5.tar.gz libgpg-error], then move onto [ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/gcrypt/alpha/libgcrypt/libgcrypt-1.1.43.tar.gz libgcrypt] (which needs libgpg-error), then  [ftp://ftp.gnutls.org/pub/gnutls/libtasn1/attic/libtasn1-0.2.6.tar.gz libtasn1].  Once these three are installed, install [ftp://ftp.gnutls.org/pub/gnutls/attic/gnutls-0.9.91.tar.gz GNUTLS].
+
+Libopencdk has proven to be a PITA in some respects; don't use it, as it will break GNUTLS.  Version 0.9.92 of GNUTLS doesn't compile because the maintainer forgot to include a needed file.  Other versions such as 0.9.91 should work fine.
+
+You shouldn't need the `--with-gnutls-{includes,libs}` arguments to `./configure`, as the libs get installed to good locations by default.  If you have put GNUTLS in an unusual location, you're on your own there. ;)
+
+For FreeBSD and OpenBSD users, GNUTLS 0.8.10 works, but 0.8.6 doesn't (thanks, synic).
+
+The notes below on installing GNUTLS as non-root may also be helpful, even if not exactly what you want.
