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
