Why are you using an outdated development snapshot?  Please either
install the latest release 24.5 or update your snapshot with the
latest one (whose version should be 25.0.50).  It could be that what
you see is some temporary development problem that was fixed long ago.

Did this ever work for you?  If not, I think you need to install the
GnuTLS library for this to work.

If it dod work previously, then what changed on your system since the
last time it did work?
