pidgin and notify-osd

[biasquez]

hi i have 2 questions:
- pidgin-libnotify works fine with notify-osd?
- now i'm using pidgin devel version and i want to use pidgin-libnotify with notify-osd, i'm downloaded pidgin-libnotify with apt-get source from jaunty and compiled/installed it but i have old notify system. can i fix it?

There is no reason to compile any of this from source.

Enter these into gnome-terminal

sudo apt-get install libnotify1 pidgin-libnotify

To enable notifications in pidgin
1. Open up Pidgin and goto the buddy list
2. Choose menu item Tools -> Plugins
3. Enable the plugin "Libnotify Popups"
