Yep -- I'm still getting this working out. Thing is, my son has the computer more often than I do, and I'd not had much time to get it working right. Thanks for the feedback. I'll get back someday and fill out all the dependencies. [[User:Mistapotta|mistapotta]] 17:09, 10 February 2008 (EST) |

Thanks for putting this up, it did at least get me started. I was able to install succesfully. The other packages I needed to install were glibc-headers, gtk2-devel, and libxml2-devel. (I also installed gcc-g++, not sure if it was needed.) The yum install ran short of memory at one point, I closed browse and re-ran it and it was fine. |

Any objection to me creating a [[Pidgin]] page, and putting the instructions there? |

yum install make gcc perl-XML-Parser glib2-devel.i386 ##STILL WORKING ALL THE DEPENDENCIES##
cd /usr/src
wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/pidgin/pidgin-2.3.1.tar.bz2
bunzip2 pidgin-2.3.1.tar.bz2
tar -xvf pidgin-2.3.1.tar
./configure
make
make install
- NOTE: THIS DOESN'T FULLY WORK YET**
I tried this, found a couple of issues. first, packages for yum are separated by spaces, not commas, so that line should be "yum install make, gcc, perl-XML-Parser, glib2-devel.i386". Also, you left out a couple of steps. after the wget:
bunzip2 pidgin-2.3.1.tar.bz2
tar -xvf pidgin-2.3.1.tar
cd pidgin-2.3.1
