Nice one loko. I edited the patch as you said and the plugin compiled fine. I had to move the compiled OTR plugin from /usr/lib/gaim to /usr/local/lib/gaim to get the plugin to show up in Gaim.
This problem applying and saving the settings in Vidalia seems to be a bug that the developers are aware of. Vidalia does not seem to take into account that Ubuntu runs Tor as a service with its own...
beefcurry, you need to install the compiler and associated packages. Simplest way to do this is to install the package build-essential, which will install all the required packages through its...
Vidalia is a nice user-interface for the Tor anonymising proxy. It sits nicely on the taskbar and provides useful information such as bandwidth and node locations.
First, install the packages...
Yes, the gaim-dev package would help to get the gaim-OTR plugin compiled.

So long as you have configured Tor and the application using it correctly, then your ISP cannot see which sites you are visiting. Only a very powerful adversary scanning multiple nodes within the Tor...
Remember to turn java off for anonymous surfing.
'thought': try this command to set the permissions on that directory:
sudo chown debian-tor /var/lib/tor
Then try and start tor again. You can test it at the command line just by typing 'tor'.
